Fitment & Installation Tips
- Match both ends exactly: 3/8" (male) NPT to 1/4" (male) NPT.
- Use only sealants approved for high-pressure paint systems; avoid over-application.
- Do not mix NPT with BSPP/BSPT; thread forms and sealing methods differ.
- Confirm component pressure rating meets or exceeds your sprayer’s maximum working pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
It fits only if your parts manual calls out 165198 or your fluid line specifically transitions from 3/8" (M) NPT to 1/4" (M) NPT using a male-to-male reducer. Many consumer units use different adapters—check the manual before purchase.
Use fittings whose maximum working pressure is at least equal to (preferably higher than) your sprayer’s rated pressure. When in doubt, consult the model’s technical data and select OEM-specified components only.
Yes—use PTFE tape or an approved paste suitable for NPT threads and the coating being sprayed. Apply sparingly to avoid contaminating the fluid path.
A reducing nipple is male × male and often used inline; a reducer bushing is male × female and typically threads into a female port. Choose the style your manifold or hose routing requires.
