Valve Core Adapter - CPS Products

The CPS Products AD18C Valve Core Adapter is an essential tool designed for professional technicians needing to bridge different thread sizes in pneumatic systems. This precision-machined 1/4" Male NPT to 1/8" Female NPT adapter facilitates seamless connection of a standard 1/4" NPT air hose to systems utilizing a 1/8" NPT valve core. Crafted from durable brass, this adapter ensures a reliable and secure fit for demanding automotive and industrial applications.

Key Features

• Precision Threading: Features a 1/4" Male NPT thread on one end and a 1/8" Female NPT thread on the other for precise compatibility.
• Solid Brass Construction: Manufactured from high-quality brass, offering excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in workshop environments.
• Knurled Grip: The knurled exterior provides a secure, non-slip grip, allowing for easy manual tightening and removal even in oily conditions.
• Professional Grade: Engineered for consistent performance under pressure, making it suitable for frequent use by automotive and industrial professionals.
• Leak-Resistant Connection: Designed to create a tight seal, minimizing air leakage and maintaining system integrity during operation.

Applications

This versatile valve core adapter is indispensable for a range of tasks where connecting incompatible thread sizes is critical. Common applications include:

• Tire Service and Repair: Adapting standard shop air hoses to specialized valve cores found on some heavy-duty, off-road, or industrial tires.
• HVAC/R System Maintenance: Facilitating connection to various refrigerant recovery or charging ports with different valve core sizes.
• Industrial Pneumatics: Bridging connections between air compressors, tools, and lines with differing NPT specifications in manufacturing or maintenance settings.
• Specialized Equipment: Enabling the use of standard air lines with custom or legacy equipment that features 1/8" NPT valve core ports.
