Fittings 101: NPT & NPTF

The National Pipe Taper is a USA standard for threads. It’s commonly used on pipes and fittings. The NPT fittings seal pipes to prevent leaks of fluid and gas transfer. They are available in different materials like iron and brass, but those are best suited for low pressure applications. If the application is higher pressure, it’s necessary to use materials like carbon and stainless steel. Episode one of Brennan's Fitting identification Series covers NPT fittings.
