Value Collection PS-MH-HPC1-041 Hydraulic Gauge Adapter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PS-MH-HPC1-041 is a hydraulic pressure gauge adapter rated to 10,000 psi, designed for use in high-pressure hydraulic systems where a gauge connection point is required. The adapter features a 1/4 NPTF gauge connection port, a 3/8 NPTF male end, and a 3/8 NPTF female end, allowing technicians to tap a pressure gauge into an existing hydraulic line without disrupting the primary flow path. At 0.3 pounds, it is a compact, inline fitting suited for stationary and mobile hydraulic applications. Installation is performed by hydraulic technicians, millwrights, and fluid power specialists working on industrial or heavy-equipment systems.

This adapter is used in hydraulic circuits requiring in-line pressure monitoring at working pressures up to 10,000 psi. Typical applications include hydraulic power units, presses, jacks, and test stands where a gauge must be connected at a 1/4 NPTF port while maintaining a 3/8 NPTF through-line. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal, reducing reliance on additional sealants in high-pressure environments. Both stationary industrial and mobile equipment hydraulic systems are common installation contexts.

Key Features

• Rated to 10,000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding hydraulic applications
• 1/4 NPTF gauge connection port for direct pressure gauge installation
• 3/8 NPTF male and 3/8 NPTF female ends for in-line installation without flow interruption
• NPTF thread form delivers a pressure-tight seal at both connection points
• Lightweight at 0.3 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hydraulic fitting for high-pressure gauge tap applications using 3/8 NPTF in-line connections and 1/4 NPTF gauge ports in hydraulic systems rated up to 10,000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified hydraulic technicians or fluid power specialists. Always depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before threading or removing any fittings. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves, but inspect threads for damage before assembly and apply appropriate thread sealant or tape if required by the system specification. Torque fittings according to the equipment manufacturer's guidelines for the pipe size and material involved.
