I went to a hardware store to explore my options when I integrate this 1" diameter flow sensor into my heat pump design.

I found that a 1" NPT female thread adapter will not thread all the way on. In fact, one PVC adapter only went on < one full turn. Another, a brass adapter, went on about 2.5 turns before stopping.

Looks like an o-ring face seal. Face seals are very common in auto applications. If you can find whatever brass piece that will make that happen, braze it together with a fitting with a standard NPT thread and you've got an adapter.
