AndyT Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hey All, Does anyone of a UK supplier for 1/8 NPT female to 1/4 hose barb adapters like the link below :- http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/1TBY2?Pid=search Thanks Don't understand NPT Wez but they look like air hose connections which can be bought from plumbing wholesalers etc. I'll have a looksee.

Chris Wilson Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Look under pneumatic fittings. RS Components may have them. I think I have 1/8 NPT MALE to 1/4 barb in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Some sensors are supplied with 1/8 NPT male threads, I am looking to adapt these to barbed push on fittings, the other option is to convert to -4AN or -3AN but the cost of the lines etc shoots up because of the fittings and hose required. The AEM MAP and pressure sensors use 1/8 NPT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1/8 NPT male to barb seem to be easy to come by but the female option are more difficult, arent they always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AEM MAP and pressure sensors use 1/8 NPT National Pipe Thread. American. Going to be a little harder to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 What about a bit of butchery with taps and dies and Loctite hydraulic seal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Do these help? http://www.nccsupplies.com/productgrp.asp?c0=20&c1=95&m=6&gclid=CMCz693m3Z4CFSBk4wodgzD7JQ Sadly not really, if I cant find a supplier locally I may get a job lot from the american site in my first post. There are lots of NPT fitting available its the 1/8 NPT female to hose barb that seems to be tricky. The other option is 1/8 NPT female to -3AN male which I could then use normal -3AN lines on but as I said it puts the price up when its not really required.

Chewie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 1/8 NPT is such a small thread size, it's quite common to use 1/4" BSPT. Infact it's common engineering practice to screw in a male tape into a female parallel. Not many people know this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Oh yeah I also meant to say, try Norgren Martonair, SMC Pneuamtics, GAST, Legris websites. These are just pence. We've got zillions of these in our development lab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
