Adapter needed: (maybe metric) male tapered pipe thread X 1/8 NPT female.
The"maybe metric" side is the problem. I can't seem to find out what it is. 1/8 NPT, nor 1/8 BSPT male threads work. I have no way to test what it is, other than buying fittings and trying them. The old sensor will thread into an 1/8 NPT female fitting, but it is initially much looser than an 1/8 NPT fitting is to start. It eventually gets snug, but requires twice the number of threads to be engaged as the 1/8 NPT male does. The very first complete thread on the sensor measures approximately .355" and the diameter where it gets tightened to is approximately .375", if that helps.
Does anyone know of such an odd animal?
Thanks for your help,
Great site.
