SKC PIPE TAPS (NPT18)

SKC PIPE TAPS (NPT18)

• NPT (American National Standard Taper) taps for general purpose use in a variety of materials conforming to ANSI standards are available
• NPT tap threads can be either tapered or straight, depending on the job at hand
• The taper on NPT pipe taps means a seal is tightly formed when correctly torqued
• This is due to the flanks of the threads compressing securely against each other (unlike straight thread fittings where the threads hold together without providing that tight seal)
