🔧 Sprayer Talk Tuesday: Understanding NPT Pipe Threads
Think you know what size fitting you need? You might want to measure again!
This week on Sprayer Talk Tuesday, we're breaking down NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads and one of the most common mistakes we see when customers order replacement fittings.
The outside diameter (OD) of a pipe thread is NOT the same as its nominal pipe size!
For example, a 1" NPT male fitting actually measures approximately 1.315" across the outside of the threads. This can cause confusion when trying to identify the correct replacement fitting.
In this week's video, we explain how NPT sizing works, why the measurements don't match the listed sizes, and what to look for when ordering replacement parts.
🎥 Check out this week's Sprayer Talk Tuesday and avoid a common mistake that can cost you time and frustration!
