I got 2 of those rad hose adaptors for my breather tank setup. However the 1/8th npt fittings arent threading in all the way - maybe 1/2 if even. Its a very very tight fit, as if im crossthreading, however ive tried about 4 different fitting styles and all are the same.

Isnt the NPT fittings supposed to be a looser fit, because you have to use teflon tape? I couldnt even use thread locker because the fit is so tight. I even snapped a fitting half way in, which required me to order another 34mm rad hose adaptor.
