M10x1.0 side: straight thread with flat seating face, sealing against the washer or O-ring supplied with your sensor Fitting Working Pressure 1,500 PSI (Max) Fitting Temperature Range -65°F to 251°F Fitting Compatible Media Engine oil, synthetic oil, coolant, gasoline, diesel, air, hydraulic fluid Fitting Color Black (Anodized) Fitting Application Mounting metric M10x1.0 sensors and senders into NPT ports. Oil pressure, coolant temperature and fuel pressure gauge installations Fitting Installation Note Apply oil-rated or fuel-rated liquid thread sealant to the NPT threads only. Do not apply sealant or PTFE tape to the M10x1.0 threads. Use an open-end wrench sized to the hex, not an adjustable wrench, which rounds anodized aluminum flats. A light film of assembly lube prevents galling Fitting Unit Count 1 Count Fitting Included Components 1 x Adapter. Sensor, sealing washer and thread sealant not included ---!@!start!@!---Description---!@!end!@!--- About this item You bought a sensor. It is M10x1.0, because most of the sensor world outside North America is metric. Your engine is tapped NPT, because most of the engine world inside North America is not. This adapter is the two inches of aluminum that lets those two facts coexist. Full profile. Tapered NPT male thread at one end, straight M10x1.0 female port at the other, with wrench flats between them. NPT male end. The taper is visible along the thread. This is the only thread on the part that takes sealant, and it seals on the threads themselves rather than on a face. M10x1.0 female port. A straight thread with a flat seating face at the base. Your sensor seats against that face, so the sealing washer or O-ring supplied with the sensor is what makes this joint. Wrench flats. Sized for a standard open-end wrench. Anodized aluminum rounds off easily, so an adjustable wrench is the wrong tool here. Overall length. Kept short to limit how far the sensor stands off the block, which matters for clearance and for the vibration load the sensor sees. Fit a Metric M10x1.0 Sensor Into a 1/8 or 1/4 Inch NPT Port The 1/8" NPT version suits the small tapped ports found on fuel rails, gauge blocks and oil galleries. The 1/4" NPT version suits larger accessory ports and most aftermarket manifolds and cooler plates. Both carry the same M10x1.0 female thread, which is the size used by a large share of European and Japanese pressure and temperature senders, including many Bosch-pattern sensors. Choose by the port you are threading into, since the sensor side does not change. NPT and Metric Seal in Completely Different Ways This adapter creates two joints, and getting them mixed up is the usual cause of a leak. The NPT male thread is tapered and seals on thread engagement, so it needs an oil-rated or fuel-rated thread sealant. Liquid sealant is safer than PTFE tape, since tape fragments can shear off and travel into an oil gallery. The M10x1.0 female port is a straight thread with a flat seat at its base. Straight threads do not seal on the threads themselves. Whatever your sensor uses to seal against that face, usually a crush washer or an O-ring supplied with the sensor, is what makes this joint. Do not put sealant on the metric threads, since it only holds the sealing face apart. Oil Pressure, Coolant Temperature and Fuel Pressure Gauge Installs The typical job is straightforward: back out the original sensor or plug, thread this adapter into the NPT port, then thread your metric sender into the adapter. No drilling, no tapping, no replacing the housing. Common cases include running a Bosch-pattern oil pressure sender on an NPT-tapped block, fitting a metric coolant temperature sensor to an aftermarket housing, and adding a metric fuel pressure sensor to a rail or filter head that came tapped in NPT. If you need the reverse direction, the wider EVIL ENERGY NPT fitting range covers metric-to-NPT and NPT-to-NPT conversions. Black Anodized 6061-T6 Aluminum Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a black anodized finish, which adds surface hardness and corrosion resistance and keeps the fitting from standing out under the hood. Aluminum is soft. Thread it in slowly, use a light film of assembly lube on the NPT threads to prevent galling, and stop the moment a thread binds rather than forcing through it. Use an open-end wrench sized to the hex, never an adjustable wrench. What Is In The Box 1x NPT Male to M10x1.0 Female Adapter, in the NPT size you select Why Choose EVIL ENERGY NPT to M10x1.0 Adapters Keeps the Sensor You Already Bought: No returning a metric sender because the block is NPT. The adapter costs a fraction of the sensor. Two NPT Sizes, One Metric Port: 1/8" and 1/4" NPT male, both with M10x1.0 female. Pick by the port you have, not by the sensor. Short by Design: Minimal stack height keeps the sensor close to the block, which helps with clearance and reduces the vibration load a stacked sensor sees. Black Anodized 6061-T6: Surface hardness that resists assembly scuffing, on the aluminum grade used throughout performance plumbing. Straightforward Install: Sealant on the NPT side only, nothing on the metric side. Standard hand tools, no port machining.
