Manufactured by Eaton Aeroquip, this straight steel adapter connects a 1/4-18 male NPT thread to a 1/8-27 male NPT thread, making it a practical solution for reducing or transitioning between common pipe thread sizes in a single inline fitting. The Steel Adapter, 1/4-18 Male NPT To 1/8-27 Male NPT, Straight carries catalog number C1BA71 and has an overall length (A dimension) of 1.26 inches.
Suited for grease, instrumentation, and most hydraulic systems, this fitting is compatible with a broad range of fluid types. The NPTF thread form on both ends provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without the need for additional sealing compounds, though compatibility with system fluids should be verified using Eaton's published fluid compatibility documentation.

got a gauge with 1/8-27 npt on it, but the port i’m tying into is 1/4-18. is this the right straight adapter to marry those up?

For stepping between those two pipe sizes, it’s a straight steel pipe-to-pipe adapter with 1/4-18 male NPTF on one end and 1/8-27 male NPTF on the other, so it matches the thread callouts you listed.

got a grease line coming off a small pump with a 1/8 inch male fitting and i need to step it up to a 1/4 inch male NPT port on the manifold, this the right piece for that?

That's what this adapter is built for. It's an all-steel straight adapter with a 1/4-18 male NPT on one end and a 1/8-27 male NPT on the other, so it bridges those two thread sizes without any elbows or extra fittings in between. Grease systems are one of the listed applications, so you're in good shape there.

Will this adapter work alright for hooking up some grease lines to a smaller port?
