Description

When you’re connecting hydraulic components with different thread types, having the right adapter can save you hours of frustration and keep your equipment running. This steel fitting adapts between the common 1/8 male JIC (5/16-24) thread and 1/8 male NPT (pipe thread), making it handy for connecting gauges, sensors, or other hydraulic accessories that don’t match your system’s existing fittings.

What You’re Getting

Precision-machined steel construction that handles hydraulic pressure without leaking
1/8 male JIC (5/16-24) on one end, 1/8 male NPT on the other for versatile connections
Compact design fits in tight spaces where bulky adapters won’t work
Quality threads that engage smoothly and seal properly with the right sealant

Built for Hydraulic Systems

This adapter works well in hydraulic systems where you need to connect components with different thread standards. It’s particularly useful for adding aftermarket gauges, pressure switches, or relief valves to existing hydraulic lines. The steel construction handles the pressures and temperature swings that come with hydraulic work on farm equipment.

Made to Last

Farm hydraulics see tough conditions—dirt, moisture, pressure cycles, and vibration. This steel fitting is built to handle those challenges without cracking or wearing out. The precision threads maintain their seal even after multiple installations and removals.

Installation Notes

Use appropriate hydraulic thread sealant on the pipe threads—avoid tape that can break off and contaminate your system. Thread the fitting in by hand first to prevent cross-threading, then tighten with a wrench. Don’t overtighten, as this can damage the threads or crack the fitting body.
