PQY 12V 1/8 NPT Oil Temp Sensor Water Temp Sensor Gauge | VR-TSU01

Key Features

• 1/8 NPT Thread — It uses a standard 1/8 NPT male thread that fits most oil and water ports.
• Single-Wire Connection — The single signal wire connects directly to your gauge, so wiring stays simple.
• Aluminum and Brass Build — It is made from aluminum and brass for durability and good heat transfer.
• 0 to 150C Range — It measures from 0 to 150 degrees Celsius, which is 0 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Compact 4.5 cm Length — At 4.5 cm (1.77 in) long, it suits tight engine bay spaces.

What It Is / How It Works

It is designed to work as both an oil temperature sensor and a water temperature sensor.

Who It's For / Use Cases

Temperature sensors of this type suit drivers who want to watch oil or water temperature on an aftermarket gauge. They are a common choice for track-day cars, custom builds, kit cars, and DIY repairs when an existing sender has failed.

How to Use / Care

1. Screw the 1/8 NPT male thread into an oil or water port.
2. Connect the signal wire to your gauge.
3. Let the brass threads ground the sensor once it is installed.
4. Confirm your gauge is rated for the 0-150C / 0-300F measuring range before use.

How to Choose

Start by matching the thread to your port, since a 1/8 NPT thread is the size this sensor uses. Next, check that your gauge takes a single-wire sender, because the wiring on this type is one signal wire. Length and weight matter for tight mounting spaces, so compare the listed dimensions against your engine bay before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this for both oil and water temperature?
It is designed to work as both an oil temperature sensor and a water temperature sensor.

What thread size is it?
It uses a standard 1/8 NPT male thread that fits most oil and water ports.

Is it a single-wire or two-wire sensor?
