About NPT  Fittings  NPT fittings are components used in piping systems  or plumbing.  They are used to join different sections of pipe. NPT  is  short for  National Pipe Thread. It’s a kind of engineering convention that lets us  know how to thread the pipe and  fittings. These  threads contribute to a tight  joint  which ensures that there will be no water  or gas leak.  Kanaf is a product line of many  styles of NPT plumbing fittings. If you  are doing work on any plumbing project, having some knowledge  of NPT  fittings will help you select the  proper ones for your application.

 

How to Choose the Right NPT Plumbing Fittings for Your Projects

The  right NPT plumbing fittings are the key for a successful project. First things first, learn what size pipes  you are working with. NPT fittings are  available in different sizes, and many are  measured in inches.  So,  for instance, if you have a pipe with 1 inch diameter, you will need the fitting of same size. What  are the fittings made of, next?  There are choices including brass, stainless steel and plastic. In general, brass fittings are extremely durable and resistant to corrosion whereas plastic fittings are lighter and less expensive. Consider what you'll need for your project. If  your task is one that will steam up or be exposed to caustic chemicals, then stainless steel  might be the  best option for  you because it can take a beating from these materials and not break down. And  also consider the pressure of the system. Some fittings are for high pressure, while others are for low  pressure. Be sure  to choose fittings  that can  withstand the pressure inside your pipes. Also you have  to think of the tread type. NPT threads are tapered, so they wedge snugly against  one another when you screw them in. This helps prevent leaks. Finally, always check for quality. I would  buy trusted brand like Kanaif instead. Good fittings  can be  a  bit more expensive, but they will last and work well. For instance, you might consider using Galvanized Pipe Fitting for specific applications.
