Product Questions & Answers (3)

Question by: Lee B on Aug 24, 2025, 7:13 AM
got a port that’s 3/4-16 straight thread ORB, will this adapter take that on the female side and still give me 3/8-18 pipe on the other end?
Answer by: Customer Support on Aug 26, 2025, 6:17 AM
On the female end you get a 3/4-16 SAE O Ring Boss (straight thread O Ring) connection, and the other end is a 3/8-18 male NPTF pipe thread. It is a straight pipe to straight thread O Ring adapter.
Question by: Jimmy P on Jan 22, 2026, 6:18 AM
Will this adapter work with standard NPT fittings, or do I need something special?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jan 23, 2026, 8:08 PM
This adapter is designed with a 3/8-18 Male NPT fitting, so it'll work with standard NPT fittings. The other end is a 3/4-16 Female SAE O-Ring Boss.
Question by: Gary R on May 26, 2025, 2:11 PM
Got a port on a hydraulic valve block that's tapped 3/4-16 SAE and I need to run a 3/8 NPT line off it. This the right adapter for that?
Answer by: Customer Support on May 28, 2025, 6:37 AM
That's what this one's built for. The male end threads into your NPT fitting or port at 3/8-18, and the female end accepts a 3/4-16 SAE O-ring Boss connection on the other side. The O-ring Boss end seals against the face of the port using an O-ring, which keeps things tight without relying on thread deformation the way tapered pipe threads do. Straight configuration means no offset, so it works cleanest when both ports are facing the same direction.
