Kupo KS-054 3/8""""-16 Male to 1/4""""-20 Male Thread Adapter

Kupo KS-054 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Adapter – converts 3/8"-16 female threads into a 1/4"-20 male thread

This Kupo KS-054 is a small dual-male stud adapter that converts a 3/8"-16 female thread into a 1/4"-20 male thread. It gives you a simple threaded interface change where you need to adapt between these two common thread standards.

Key features

• Dual male stud with 3/8’’ to 1/4’’ thread adapter — provides male threads on both ends for easy connection.
• Converts a 3/8"-16 female thread into a 1/4"-20 male thread — allows a 1/4"-20 male connection where only a 3/8"-16 female thread exists.
• Handy to attach two female devices to each other with the adapter in between them — use the adapter as a bridge between two female-threaded components.

How to use the adapter

First, screw the 3/8"-16 male end into the 3/8"-16 female thread. Then use the exposed 1/4"-20 male thread to mount or connect a device that accepts a 1/4"-20 female thread. Alternatively, place the adapter between two female-threaded components so each can be attached to a male end.

Practical notes

The adapter serves as a straightforward thread converter and as a connector to join two female-threaded parts. Because it is a dual male stud, it works in situations where you need a male interface on both sides to complete the connection.

FAQ

Question: What thread sizes does this adapter convert?
Answer: It converts a 3/8"-16 female thread into a 1/4"-20 male thread, using a dual male stud configuration.

Question: Can I use this adapter to join two female-threaded parts?
Answer: Yes. The adapter is designed to sit between two female-threaded devices so each can mate to one of the male studs.

Question: Is this adapter suitable for changing the thread on an existing mount?
Answer: Yes. When you need a 1/4"-20 male thread where there is a 3/8"-16 female, this adapter provides that threaded interface.

Question: How do I install the adapter?
Answer: Thread the 3/8"-16 male end into the 3/8"-16 female thread, then attach the device that accepts a 1/4"-20 female thread to the exposed 1/4"-20 male end.

This adapter gives a direct, reliable way to adapt between these common thread standards and to join female-threaded components when needed.
