What is NPT Thread?

NPT, or National Pipe Thread, is an American standard for tapered threads commonly used to connect pipes and fittings. Known for its effective sealing performance, NPT threads are ideal for low-pressure liquid and gas pipelines. Characterized by a 60-degree thread angle, large pitch, and a slightly smaller diameter at the top and bottom compared to the middle, NPT threads adhere to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard, specifically ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. This standard, which outlines dimensions, pitch, thread angle, and shape, ensures interchangeability across NPT threads produced by different manufacturers.
