Straight Nipple Adapter Fitting 1/4" NPT to -04 JIC

Straight Nipple Adapter Fitting 1/4" NPT to -04 JIC

This straight adapter fitting is designed to connect components with differing thread types within your vehicle's fluid systems. It is typically used to join a hose with a female JIC fitting to a component, such as a pump, cooler, or sensor housing, that has a female NPT port. This high-quality nipple provides a secure, leak-free connection for custom plumbing or repairs in fuel, oil, power steering, or hydraulic systems.

This adapter is necessary when customising or repairing fluid lines where components from different systems or manufacturers are being integrated. Using the correct adapter is crucial for ensuring a reliable seal. An incorrect or failing fitting can lead to dangerous fluid leaks. Depending on the system, this could result in a loss of power steering, transmission failure, engine oil starvation leading to catastrophic engine damage, or a fuel leak which poses a significant fire risk.

Product Features
