1/4" npt Pipe Fittings

thingiverse

Pipe fittings come in a variety of sizes and configurations, but 1/4 inch NPT is one of the most popular choices for plumbing and HVAC applications. These threaded pipe fittings are designed to connect two pipes securely with a watertight seal, making them ideal for hot water systems, air conditioning units, and other pressurized equipment. NPT stands for National Pipe Tapered, indicating that the threads on these fittings taper or slope as they ascend. This design allows for easy assembly by threading the male end onto the female end until it reaches a secure connection point. The tapered threads also provide a strong seal against leaks and corrosion. When working with 1/4 inch NPT pipe fittings, it's essential to use the correct tools and follow proper installation procedures to ensure a reliable and leak-free connection. A Teflon tape or pipe dope can be applied to the male threads for added sealing performance.
