No...NPT is a tight fight, it's tapered.
It get's tighter as you turn it...so there's no need for teflon tape or anything. - Brian

What do you use teflon tape on? Teflon tape (PTFE) is designed for pipe thread (NPT) . You can get away without using teflon tape on pipe but I have had much better luck when using teflon to eliminate leaks. Thread seal tape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Also when tapping NPT threads the general rule I have always gone by is to run the tap in 2/3 way. So you should never run up the fitting until its out of threads. |
