Description

Overview

The M16x1.5 to 1/4 BSPT Brass Adaptor joins a male metric connection to a female BSPT port in a straight, compact fitting. Its mixed-thread configuration suits installations where an existing M16 component must connect into tapered pipe-thread plumbing without replacing the adjoining parts.

Features

• Straight male and female adaptor configuration
• M16x1.5 female metric connection
• 1/4 BSPT male tapered pipe thread
• Brass hex body for controlled spanner installation

Specifications and Materials

Product type: standard brass screwed adaptor.

Female connection: M16x1.5 metric thread.

Compatibility and Fitment

Use the M16x1.5 to 1/4 BSPT Brass Adaptor only when the mating metric thread is M16x1.5 and the receiving pipe port is female 1/4 BSPT. The main ordering risk is confusing BSPT with NPT because both may be described as 1/4 inch, but their thread forms and pitches differ and should not be treated as interchangeable.

Check how the original M16 connection seals, including whether it uses a seat, washer or separate sealing component. Start both connections by hand and confirm smooth engagement before applying a spanner to the hex body.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the circuit before removing or installing the fitting. Apply suitable thread sealant to the tapered BSPT connection without allowing excess material into the bore. Restore pressure gradually and leak-test both connections before returning the system to service.

Trailer Applications

Workshops use this thread combination in compatible trailer pneumatic plumbing, auxiliary air circuits and equipment connections where an M16 male outlet must transition to a 1/4 BSPT female port.

Why Choose ICS Trailers
