Not true. The thread size is the same, but the OP sender thread is tapered, as in "pipe thread".
Based on my observations (and others) the threads in the
case are not tapered.
The ones on the sender units ARE tapered.
Otherwise I would not be able to thread a 10X1.0 tap into the sender hole without resistance.....
Your evidence for your side is that the manual states "The oil pressure switch is sealed by means of the tapered threads"
The
switch is sealed by means of the Tapered threads
(on the sensor) "SDO: DIN: Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V.
DOD Adopted ANSI Approved Approved
Scope and field of application
This standard specifies profiles, dimensions and methods of verification for general purpose metric taper external threads intended to be mated with parallel internal threads with a basic profile as specified in ISO/DIS 68-1"
Note the "metric taper
external threads intended to be mated with parallel
internal threads"
The external (tapered) threads are on the sender the internal (parallel) threads are in the case.
