NPT thread and fittings

Jul 05, 2007 1 Replies

I am based in the UK where we dont use NPT fittings. I have a KOHLER thermo stacking valve to fit and this has NPT females. I have purchased some NPT to BSP converters but I am little concerned.



The NPT fittings only hand tight half way. I know NPT threads are designed to seal, is it correct that these types of fittings are tight to fit?



Yeah, sometimes they cut threads different. Don't worry about make up on adapters and such. Tighten it up a half turn before it breaks.
