Water temp bushing threaded plug (1 Viewer)

[FJROSS]

Do any of the venders here carry a threaded plug to screw into the head if I want to remove my bushing. I originally was running the factor temp sender that went to my gauge cluster and another Autometer set of gauges. I just recently purchased the Dakota VHX gauges and would like to plug the head or the bushing if possible. Would the head be BSPT?

Thanks
Dave

Tough question! It's possible to be a BPT . I know the Oil sending unit is BPT. I would do more research for a Definitive answer

Would the head be BSPT?

Yes. 1/2" BSPT. 1/2" NPT has the same thread pitch but taper and thread angle is slightly different. However 1/2" NPT is close enough that you can get buy with it. It's so close that if you purchase 1/2" BSPT online, it just might be NPT anyway. It's pretty hard to tell the difference on 1/2". the other sizes differ in thread pitch and are easily distinguished.

Thanks for the reply, I see McMaster Carr has them for $5.00.
