Custom Adapters & Fittings

When the adapter you need isn't in any catalogue — odd thread combinations, BSP/NPT/metric conversions, fuel, sensor and hydraulic fittings — we machine it to spec or copy it from your sample. No CAD file needed.

When the Adapter You Need Doesn't Exist

Catalogues cover the common adapters. The one you actually need is often the one no one stocks: an odd thread combination, a metric-to-imperial conversion, a fitting for a discontinued sensor or pump, or a connector that has to seal between two parts that were never meant to join. You already know what you need — you just can't buy it.

EKINSUN machines those. We make custom adapters and fittings to your spec, or copied from a sample, in the thread, size and material you need — single pieces through small production. No CAD file, no catalogue limits, and a quote within 24 hours.

Send Us Whatever You Have

You don't need a drawing — just enough for us to nail the two ends and the seal:

A sample

The old adapter or both parts it must join — we measure the threads & bore.

The two threads

Tell us each side (e.g. 1/4" NPT to M12×1.5) and we make the link.

A photo

Clear photos with one known dimension or a caliper in shot.

A sketch

A rough drawing with the sizes and angle you need.

A broken fitting

Cracked or stripped is fine — we recover the geometry.

Adapters & Fittings We Make

Special

Popular: thread adapters (BSP/NPT/metric) · custom metric thread adapters (mixed-pitch, double-male) · BSP to NPT adapters · hydraulic adapters (JIC/ORFS/SAE) · precision machined fittings · flange adapters · motor adapter rings & plates (mount a new motor to an old pump/gearbox) · stainless steel connectors. By application: plumbing adapters · sensor adapters · pressure gauge thread adapters (M20×1.5/M14×1.5 ↔ G/ZG/NPT) · tri-clamp adapters (sanitary ferrule ↔ thread/barb/flange) · hose barb adapters (metric threads, odd hose IDs) · automotive fuel-line adapters · motorcycle adapters. By form: male-to-male (double-male) · female-to-male & hex reducing bushings · metric to imperial (UNC/UNF/BSP/NPT). Guides: connect two different threads · connect different thread pitches (coarse vs fine) · thread adapter types (male-female, double-male, female-female). By size: M30 to M24 (incl. mixed-pitch M30×3.5→M24×2) · M24 to M20 · M20 to M16 · M16 to M12 · M12 to M10 · the full metric size table · large threads M33–M52 (coarse & fine pitch) · large metric to NPT M50–M100 (cable-gland ↔ conduit conversions to 4" NPT) · 13/16-28 UN to M20×1.5 (IP67 connector ↔ cable-gland threads, 304 stainless). Need a combination not listed? Tell us the two ends and we'll quote the adapter that joins them.

Where Our Adapters & Fittings Are Used

One custom fitting, many systems. We machine thread adapters and fittings for engineers and procurement across six application areas — any thread (BSP, NPT, metric, UNF, JIC), any material, from a single piece to bulk:

Applications for EKINSUN custom thread adapters and hydraulic fittings — hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, fuel & oil systems, water & fluid transfer, industrial equipment, and marine & offshore — in BSP, NPT, metric, UNF and JIC threads, stainless steel, brass and aluminium, low MOQ from one piece
Hydraulic · pneumatic · fuel & oil · water · industrial · marine — one fitting, many possibilities

Get the Threads & Seal Right

An adapter only works if both ends fit and it doesn't leak. We focus the precision there:

FeatureHow we hold it
Threads (both ends)Gauged to BSP / NPT / metric / UNF / JIC / ORFS / SAE, or reproduced from the sample
Sealing faces & tapersMachined to the matched seal type (taper, cone, O-ring boss, flat)
Bore & flowSized so the adapter doesn't choke the line
Material & pressureBrass, 316 stainless or steel chosen for the fluid, pressure and environment

No Drawing? We Reverse Engineer It

01

Send the parts or sizes

The old fitting, both mating parts, or the two thread specs to connect.

02

We measure & draw it

Threads, seals and bore captured; we rebuild the CAD for free. How it works →

03

Confirm, then machine

You approve the drawing, then we turn and inspect it. Copy from a sample →

Materials

Brass

The default for fuel, air, water and general fluid fittings — easy to seal, corrosion-resistant.

316 Stainless

For marine, chemical and high-corrosion lines, and food-grade applications.

316 →

Steel & aluminium

Carbon/alloy steel for high-pressure hydraulics; aluminium where weight matters.

What to Send Us

  • The sample adapter, or both parts it must connect — or photos with one known dimension
  • The thread on each end if you know it (e.g. 1/2" BSPP to 3/8" NPT)
  • Fluid/medium, pressure and environment (so we pick the right material and seal)
  • Quantity — one to prove the fit, or a batch
  • Delivery country (we ship worldwide)

No CAD, no problem. Rebuilding the drawing is our job — free, confirmed with you before anything is cut. See how to order with no CAD file.

A note on branded parts. We make a compatible fitting to the original's form, fit and function from what you supply. We don't sell branded original products or imply affiliation with the original manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — the main reason customers come to us. If the thread combination, size or material isn't a stock item, we machine it to your spec. Give us the two threads to connect (or a sample of each side) and we make the adapter that joins them.

Yes — conversion adapters between BSP (BSPP/BSPT), NPT/NPTF, metric, UNF/UNJF, JIC, ORFS and SAE, male or female, straight, elbow or tee, in your size and material.

Yes. Send the part — even worn or broken — and we measure the threads, bore, sealing faces and form, rebuild the drawing for free, confirm it, then machine. No drawing or part number needed.

Thread adapters, fuel, sensor, pipe and hydraulic adapters, air fittings, hose connectors, reducers, custom fittings and special connector components — straight, elbow, tee or cross, male or female.

Brass for general fluid and pneumatic use, 316 stainless for corrosion and marine, carbon/alloy steel for high pressure, and aluminium where weight matters — chosen for pressure, fluid and environment.

Low. Single pieces and prototypes as well as small to medium runs. Tell us how many you need and we quote accordingly.

We make a compatible fitting to the original's form, fit and function from the sample, drawing or photos you supply. We don't sell branded originals or imply affiliation with the original manufacturer.
