Midland Industries 7045-02-18 Fnptf X M18 Adapter Steel

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 7045-02-18 is a steel hydraulic adapter that connects a 1/8-inch Female NPTF port to an M18 Male Metric fitting. Part of the 7045 Series, it bridges NPTF inch-threaded components to M18 x 1.5 metric-threaded hydraulic lines and equipment. The female side carries a 1/8-27 thread, and the male side is M18 x 1.5. Steel construction provides the strength and durability required in hydraulic plumbing applications. This adapter is installed by hydraulic technicians, plumbers, and fluid-power professionals working on equipment that mixes inch and metric porting standards.

This adapter is suited for hydraulic systems that require a transition between standard NPTF inch fittings and metric male connections. Typical applications include industrial machinery, mobile hydraulic equipment, and fluid-power circuits where components from different thread standards must be joined. Its compact dimensions make it practical in tight manifold and component-mounting environments. The 7045 Series is designed specifically for FNPT to Male Metric conversions in steel hydraulic plumbing.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hydraulic adapter for systems requiring a 1/8-inch Female NPTF to M18 x 1.5 Male Metric transition in steel hydraulic plumbing circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or plumber familiar with hydraulic fittings and thread standards. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for hydraulic service on NPTF connections and verify the metric side seals correctly per system requirements. Follow applicable fluid-power and hydraulic safety standards during service.
