NPT Hose Fittings

NPT hose fittings are a type of threaded fitting widely used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. “NPT” stands for National Pipe Taper, which refers to the standard threading used in these fittings. NPT fittings are known for their tapered threads, which create a tight seal when threaded into a matching NPT port or connection. These fittings are designed to connect hoses, pipes, or tubing to various components within hydraulic or pneumatic systems, such as pumps, valves, cylinders, and equipment. NPT hose fittings are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, construction, and agriculture. NPT hose fittings come in a variety of configurations to suit different application requirements. This includes straight fittings for direct hose connections, elbows (e.g., 45-degree and 90-degree) for routing hoses around obstacles or corners, tees for branching hydraulic lines, and adapters for connecting hoses of different sizes or types.
