It's not a misunderstanding (due to any of those reasons) if your post wasn't grammatically correct or didn't make sense. Can you please try to use different words to rewrite post 11.

I respect your opinion but I believe anyway that it's a misunderstanding (so you want me to rewrite my post clearly).
In that post I wrote I didn't know that I should have written I want you to translate my text (I thought that's obvious) and wrote I would add it to my post (because I didn't know the site allow me to do it or not).
I hope my writing to be clear enough for you to understand it clearly (actually it's an evidence of language misunderstanding!).

We need to see the complete sentence to understand it. Nylon is an adjective modifying the word or phrase following it.

Write So how can we interpret the meaning of "shoulder of the nylon"?
The complete sentence is: "Using a 1/4" BSP die cut a thread onto the shoulder of the nylon".

Are you sure there isn't a comma in there somewhere?

If that's the entire sentence, at least one word is missing after "nylon".

There isn't any comma in the sentence, but like you I believe one should be there after "die".

Excuse me, but can't we consider "nylon" as a word that stands for another longer phrase? (for example: nylon valve)

That would only work if the people who use this jargon (ie people in the industry) are in the habit of calling a nylon valve "a nylon".

It sounds very unlikely to me, but it's possible.

So, what's your idea about "fine taper tap"?

I'd understand that to mean a tap with a low taper angle. A tap is a tool that cuts threads into holes.

And do you have any idea about "jet assembly" in this sentence:
"Remove the jet assembly from the cylinder fitting".

It's a jet that's composed of several parts, such as a tapered jet fitting with a threaded butt screwed into a mounting bracket.

Hi again.
Another sentence has remained in this text. Please share your idea about it's concept:
"Using a fine taper tap, cut an internal thread into the Jamec-pem hose tail (the non-hose tail end)."

A fine-taper tap (note the hyphen) is a tap that cuts threads in pipe that expands near the end at a low rate. It's probably a standard term in the industry, so people reading the specification will know what it means.

I'd guess the hose tail is the metal fitting on a hose. I don't know what "the non-hose tail end" means.
