Adapter? M6 to 1/8NPT

[Colin Harmer]

Picking the collective brains of the IT crowd here...

Looking for a temp sensor adapter that has a female M6 tap at one end and a male 1/8NTP on the other.

Ideas? Thoughts? Direction?

Even some well written sarcasm would be welcome! :P


Thanks!

its usually the oposite way to adapt. I dont know of any that go from metric female to npt male.

Any machine shop could make this, and it wouldn't be very expensive, but you'd probably have to buy the M6 tap. I assume you're talking about some sort of 6mm metric pipe thread, and not a M6x1.0 or M6x0.75 straight thread.

Is there such a thing as a 6mm pipe thread?

get an oil switch with 1/8NPT nipple (air cooled VW beetle). Drill and tap to 6mm. Hacksaw the nipple off.

I suppose it is possible that a metric sender could be M6, but generally the ones I have seen from Japan (Omori for instance) are BSPT (also called just PT in Japan).
