What Type of Fitting do I need

[lhandy]

I need to go from 1/8" NPT Male to 1/4" NPT female. I'll be using for a gauge to check the fill pressure between my compressor and gun. Can I use a brass fitting or does it need to be a special HPA fittings.

Best fittings in the UK is the best place to get the stuff needed. They will know what you need and have everything. Only place I’ve found who can help with some of this stuff.

You could do something like this or it would probably look better if it was just one piece. Just an idea..

Amazon has lots of adapters as does eBay and many other places as well just google the size to get the info. Stainless would be better than brass.

Look for 1/4" npt female X 1/8" npt Male BUSHING, stainless steel on Google & you should find what you need.

the fittings you buy MUST be rated for the pressure you are putting in it ,,this one is NOT rated

Not sure where you are getting you information, but the Brennan fitting on Amazon has a pressure rating of 6000psi.

Just go to the Brennan website Pressure rating section and put in the part # and material. Link below
