General Description

Glow Plug Adapter - M12 x 1.25, M18 x 1.50 Thread Sizes

Features and Benefits

  • Diesel engines utilize a fuel injector on each cylinder to inject fuel for combustion. Although they do not use spark plugs to ignite the fuel, most utilize glow plugs to aid cold starts. In order to access the compression within a cylinder, an adapter is required which replaces either the injector or the glow plug. Mityvac offers injector and glow plug adapters to facilitate testing of most diesel engines in use in cars and light trucks, industry, construction, marine and agriculture. In addition we offer MotoMeter and Snap-on adapters that allow the use of Mityvac testers with these brands of test adapters. All Mityvac adapters are designed for use with our digital or analog compression testers.

Founded in 1971, Mityvac® manufactures automotive diagnostic, service, and repair tools used primarily for brake and clutch bleeding application and cooling system evacuation or refill application. It also offers an expansive line of hand vacuum/pressure pumps, fuel injection cleaners, and accessories for specialty tools and equipment.
