KT17 oil pressure sensor fitting

Recommended Posts

I have  KT1724363...I broke the brass fitting that the oil pressure sensor screws in to.  I cant find anything on line to help  Cant tell if its pressed in to the block or screwed in so I don't want to try an easy out until I know.  I cant find that part on line either.

Thanks

I can't find it either.

Most switches use a tapered pipe thread so the farther it goes in the bigger the diameter.

Pipe thread size is confusing if you are not used to them.

1/8" has an OD of .405". That is almost 3/8".

1/4" has an OD of .540". That is almost 9/16".

 

What did the fitting do. Change the pipe size or change direction of the switch.

Screwed in it should be 1/8" 27tpi in the block .What is the tread size of your sending unit?

The sending unit appears to be about 1/4 inch male thread.  I broke the adapter that holds that and threads in to the block.
