my temp senders [water and oil] are 1/8" npt and come with brass adapters for fitting them to 1/4 , 3/8, and 1/2" npt holes.  they have no where to put a wrench on them, just threads 100% on both the inside and out.  I brushed some Teflon sealer on them.  the only way to tighten the outer threaded bushing is by wrenching the inner sender.   I hope this will work but was curious as to what others did.  putting a wrench or pliers to the adapter will damage the outer threads, yet I assume these must work or VDO wouldn't use them, right?
ps - I drilled and tapped my water pump housing to 1/4"npt.
