An adapter is a type of hydraulic or pneumatic fitting used to connect components with different thread types, sizes, or connection standards. It ensures compatibility between dissimilar parts without altering the system design.
Function:
The primary function of an adapter is to bridge the connection gap between two incompatible fittings, ensuring a leak-free and secure joint.
Applications:
Connecting hoses, pipes, or tubes with different thread standards.
Used in hydraulic systems to match BSP, NPT, JIC, or metric threads.
Common in maintenance and repair work to avoid replacing entire assemblies.
