105368

Overview

The Greenlee Communications part number 105368 is a specialized mechanical fastener identified as a metering screw. It features a 1/8 NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread configuration, designed for precise fluid or gas line connections in industrial applications. This component serves as a critical interface element within Greenlee's tooling and termination systems, ensuring accurate metering and secure sealing when assembled with compatible fittings.

Feature Summary

• Incorporates 1/8 NPTF threading for standardized tapered pipe connection compatibility
• Engineered specifically for metering functions within hydraulic or pneumatic circuits
• Constructed to maintain seal integrity under operational pressure conditions

Applications

• Integration into Greenlee wire and cable termination tools requiring fluid metering
• Assembly of hydraulic press equipment components
• Maintenance and repair of industrial testing apparatuses utilizing NPTF interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific application context before procurement, as this is a dedicated replacement component rather than a general-purpose fastener. Confirm that the mating port utilizes the 1/8 NPTF standard to ensure proper thread engagement and sealing performance. Cross-reference with official Greenlee service manuals for the target tool model to validate compatibility and prevent installation errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component only when replacing a failed metering screw in existing Greenlee equipment. The 1/8 NPTF specification is fixed; alternative thread types will not fit. Ensure the replacement matches the original material specifications if corrosion resistance or specific hardness is required by the operating environment. Do not substitute with generic hardware due to precision metering requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Greenlee Communications portfolio of replacement accessories and service components. It is distinct from their hand tools or test instruments, serving instead as an internal functional element. The designation indicates its role in maintaining system accuracy within larger assemblies, particularly those involving fluid dynamics or precise mechanical adjustment.

Replacement Considerations

Official substitutes are limited to identical Greenlee part numbers. Generic NPTF screws lack the specific metering geometry and may compromise tool function.
