If you’re installing aftermarket gauges in your car or truck and the senders aren’t compatible with the stock port, we have a Universal Thread Adapter that will get the job done.
This is a 1/8 BSPT Male to 1/8-27 NPT Female Hex Thread Adapter that can be used on virtually any car or truck with a compatible port. You can install more than one oil pressure, fuel pressure or other type of sender or feed line at the same location along with a factory sensor.
This fitting has (1) male and (1) female 1/8 BSPT thread. (3) 1/8-27 NPT threads are built in for aftermarket senders, and (2) ports can be capped with the included plugs. Made from mild steel with a nickel zinc coating to prevent rust, this hex thread adapter is built to last.
Another benefit is that you don’t have to drill, weld or make any other major modifications to your vehicle for installation. Simply grab a 22mm wrench, remove the factory sensor, and replace it with this hex thread adapter. From there, reinstall the factory sender along with aftermarket sensors and you’re ready to go.
One thing to keep in mind is that if you’re installing a temperature sensor, a test port extender will have to be purchased since most temp sensors will not fit through the borehole.
