Description
The M16×1.5 thread is commonly used for aftermarket pressure sensors and adapters, offering:
-
A durable stainless steel or aluminum construction
-
Standard sensor size—ideal for oil- or boost-pressure measurement applications
-
Adapters often convert M16×1.5 to 1/8″ NPT for compatibility with gauges or wiring harnesses
One example is an OEM-style M16×1.5 pressure sensor (e.g. PN 8990130-M16X1.5) used on LS engines and other EFI systems. Specs include:
-
0–130 psi range, with 0.5–4.5 V output
-
GT150-style connector
-
Heavy-duty stainless steel body
-
Direct OEM fit, compatible with HP Tuners
