P/C #6 to 3/8 NPT Str Adptr Fitting w/ 1/8 NPT

The P/C #6 to 3/8 NPT Str Adptr Fitting w/ 1/8 NPT is a precision gauge adapter engineered for hydraulic and pneumatic system applications where multiple port configurations are required. This straight adapter fitting serves technicians, mechanics, and system integrators who need to connect 6 AN (Army-Navy) male ports to standard 3/8-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) male connections while simultaneously monitoring system conditions through a dedicated 1/8-inch NPT gauge port. Whether you're building a custom fluid delivery system, upgrading industrial machinery, or diagnosing pressure anomalies in an existing installation, this adapter provides a reliable bridge between incompatible threading standards.

Manufactured by Russell, a trusted name in fluid handling components, this fitting is constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating for superior corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments. The black anodized treatment protects the aluminum substrate from oxidation while maintaining a professional appearance across industrial, automotive, and marine applications. The straight-port design minimizes turbulence and pressure loss compared to elbow fittings, making it ideal for high-flow scenarios where efficiency matters. The integrated 1/8-inch NPT gauge port allows real-time pressure or temperature monitoring without requiring additional adapter chains, reducing leak points and simplifying system diagnostics.

This adapter benefits hydraulic system builders, fuel system technicians, and pneumatic component assemblers who work with mixed AN and NPT threaded systems. Installation is straightforward: apply appropriate thread sealant (PTFE tape or anaerobic compound) to the NPT male threads, then hand-tighten before using a wrench for final torque. The lightweight design (0.05 lbs) makes it easy to integrate into compact manifold assemblies without adding significant weight. Compatible with standard NPT gauge instruments and pressure transducers, this fitting is essential for applications requiring simultaneous fluid transfer and real-time monitoring capability in a single compact component.
