Definitions
Dryseal Pipe Threads
– Tapered pipe threads that are covered
by American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) B1.20.3-1976 (R1992). Designated
in this catalog by “NPTF,” these
threads are designed to seal pressure-tight
joints. The threads may incorporate the
NPTF (National Standard Pipe Taper Fuel
and Oil) or PTF-SAE Short forms. Dryseal
threads are used on brass products found
within this catalog. Use of a thread sealant
is recommended.
Hose Threads
– Parallel threads for hose couplings
and other fittings that are covered by American
National Standard ANSI B2.4-1996 (R1974).
Threads in this catalog in columns headed
“NH” or designated as “NPSH”
are threads of full form (as opposed to
thin-walled material formed to the desired
thread). Pressure-tight joints of hose thread
connections are achieved by use of a hose
washer placed between coupled surfaces.
NPSM Threads
– Parallel pipe threads for mechanical
joints in hose couplings and other fittings
covered by American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) B1.20.1
JIC – Joint
Industry Committee, a group that has defined
standards relating to fittings and other
products
SAE – Society
of Automotive Engineers, an organization
that writes and distributes technical information
and standards
