Adapter for jauge

[Lintox]

Hello community,

I recently purchased a 6.8L tank from Tuxing. Of course the pressure gauges are in psi.
As I have replaced the original pressure gauges on my Dynamic and Panthera with SEKHMET gauges, I would like to replace the psi on the valve with WIKA bar gauges.
However, the threads and diameters are not the same, and as I'm a burner in this field, there's probably someone who knows the subject.
The aim is to have a reference to find a male/female adapter to fit the WIKA on the filling valve.

Looking forward to hearing from you again, I wish you all a very good Sunday.
I also enclose a few photos

That’s going to be a toughy to find that adapter.

The original psi is probably m10.

It'll be easier to find a gauge with the correct thread than shoehorning an adapter into the mix.

Here is an adapter from M10 Male to 1/8 BSP Female.
Made by a reputable company (Parker) and rated for 5000psi (344BAR)

Of course, you will need to verify that the original gauge is M10
The easiest way to do that might be to bring the gauge to a local hydraulic shop and ask them to check the threads

You will also find many adapters to suit your situation on AliExpress
Just make sure that they are rated for use at 4500psi (310BAR) minimum

Hope this helps

Hello and thank you for the approach and the link, I had found this, but when I see the price, I tell myself that its quality must leave something to be desired.

Thank you again for your approach.

best regards

IMO price is not necessarily a good indicator of quality. (High or low)
The most important criteria when dealing with high pressure air fitting is the pressure for which the part is rated.
Many parts in the marketplace are not rated.
Avoid them like the plague
Others are rated for pressure not safe for air HPA use
Please buy with care

Your FX gauge male threads are G1/8 BSP. The adapter shown has a 1/8 NPT female thread. It won't work.

The FX gauges are sealed with an "x-ring" - which may or may not fit an adapter.

The shipping costs are 10 times the price of the two adapters, which is quite staggering.

But thanks for the info and the link.

On that particular adapter I goofed
It is not 1/8BSP
Another member caught the error.
