Basically, if your customer's rigging a new hydraulic line on a construction skid, they're grabbing one of these adapters to join a metric pump port to an NPT hose fitting.
We run these in 304 or 316 stainlss—most buyers go with the 316 for the extra corrosion resistance in marine environments, but the 304 handles standdard factory conditions fine and it's cheaper.
Pressure rating hits up to 6000 PSI on hex head female connectors, though honestly for high-vibration setups you'd want to double-check the thread engagement length (usually 2-4 weeks lead time on custom batches).
Surface is galvanized, which is better than bare steel for moisture resistance but not as tough as electroless nickel—we've had a few guys push back on that when they're running caustic fluid transfer.
Anyway, the thread options—metric, UNF, NPT, BSP—cover pretty much all the common standerds, but we don't stock every size combo; you'll want to confirm the specific pitch and class for your appliction.
MOQ is 100 pieces, lead time runs about 15-30 days depending on the mix of standard in your order, and we include a COA with HPLC data on the material composition if you need it.
The 100-piece MOQ applies per standard and thread type combination. So if you need 50 DIN metric and 50 ANSI NPT, that works as long as each hits 100 pieces total in the same order. We can combine them into one shipment to save freight.
Yes, we can issue mill test reports for the stainless steel raw material—just request it when placing the order. There's no extra charge for standard certificates, but custom third-party inspection would add a small fee.
Galvanized coating is fine up to 200°C in normal industrial environments, but if you're dealing with extreme moisture or chemicals at that temp, we'd suggest upgrading to passivated 316 stainless instead. For dry heat, it's perfectly reliable.
Typically 20-25 days for mixed standards like JIS and BSP—closer to 30 if we need to source a non-stock thread gauge. We'll confirm exact timing within 48 hours of receiving your PO.
Yes, designed for both—just make sure the male end matches the thread type (NPT, BSP, etc.) and seal method. The hex head allows easy torque tightening, and the 6000 PSI rating holds steady for hose assemblies or pipe connections.
