Therefore many municipal plumbing codes restrict the use of threaded plastic pipe fittings. Both British standard and National pipe thread standards specify a thread taper of 1:16; the change in diameter is one sixteenth the distance travelled along the thread. The nominal diameter is achieved some small distance (the "gauge length") from the ...
National Pipe Taper Fuel (NPTF, also called Dryseal American National Standard Taper Pipe Thread, defined by ASME B1.20.3) is designed to provide a more leak-free seal without the use of PTFE tape (often referred to by the popular brand name "Teflon") or another sealant compound. NPTF threads have the same basic shape but with crest and root ...

Piping or tubing is usually inserted into fittings to make connections. Connectors are assigned a gender, abbreviated M or F. An example of this is a "3 ⁄ 4-inch female adapter NPT", which would have a corresponding male connection of the same size and thread standard (in this case also NPT).
The most common pipe thread in North America is the National Pipe Thread (NPT) or the Dryseal (NPTF) version. Other pipe threads include the British Standard Pipe Thread (BSPT), the garden hose thread (GHT), and the fire hose coupling (NST). Copper pipes are typically joined by soldering, brazing, compression fittings, flaring, or crimping.
3 ⁄ 4-14NPSH designates female hose ends that mate a hose to a tapered pipe thread without a spigot. The US standard was defined by NFPA 1963, "Standard for Fire Hose Connections", [ 2 ] then later by ANSI-ASME B1.20.7, [ 3 ] which specifies 1 + 1 ⁄ 16 inches (27 mm) diameter straight (non-tapered) thread with a pitch of 11.5 threads per ...
These standard pipe threads are formally referred to by the following sequence of blocks: the words, Pipe thread, the document number of the standard (e.g., ISO 7 or EN 10226) the symbol for the pipe thread type: G, external and internal parallel (ISO 228) R, external taper (ISO 7) Rp, internal parallel (ISO 7/1) Rc, internal taper (ISO 7)
A JIC bulkhead adapter, which converts National Pipe Thread (NPT) on the left to JIC on the right. The angled seating surface is clearly visible on the far right. JIC fittings, defined by the SAE J514 and MIL-DTL-18866 standards, are a type of flare fitting machined with a 37-degree flare seating surface.
