NPT Plugs Description
NPT Plugs are categorizing as NPT connections, and they are useful for blocking pipes and hoses in hydraulic systems and other different industries. Different sizes for this connector are available in the product catalog. They also come in different sizes as per the customer's requirement. Plug threads type is male and according to NPT standards. The standard is an American standard for threading pipes and hoses.
NPT (National Pipe Thread) seals are the most popular type of seal for pressure calibration systems in the US and Canada. NPT male adapters have a taper thread that wedges into the female NPT adapter. The angled indentations contribute to a leak-proof and tight connection for fluid transfer. They seal due to the out of roundness principle that means the male stretches the female fitting until there is so much force that the connection can hold pressure. The thread angles contribute to a tight and leak-proof connection. One of the challenges with this design is that if you connect stainless steel to stainless steel, then over-tightening or weak lubricating can cause damage to the threads.
