I am going to install an oil pressure gauge over the winter. What is the thread size for the sender unit (1/8 NPT or 10x1)?
Will these work with the 0-80psi VDO gauge? 1/8NPT sender 10x1 sender |

The case thread is 10mm x 1.00. I use Loctite 565 on the threads to help seal them and have never had any issues.

QUOTE(McMark @ Dec 12 2009, 07:50 PM)  The case thread is 10mm x 1.00. I use Loctite 565 on the threads to help seal them and have never had any issues. So the threads in the case are not tapered? From the research I did here on the forum, a hose from either a greasegun or paintball gun is needed between the case and the dual sender. Those use 1/8" NPT fittings. Will a sender with 10mmx1 threads thread into the 1/8NPT female end of the extension hose and will a 1/8"NPT male end of the hose thread into the case? |
