Tapered Thread Ports
Tapered thread ports include NPTF, BSPT and metric taper.The
tapered threads in these ports serve two functions: 1) to hold
the fitting in place while under pressure and 2) to serve as the
primary seal.The seal for NPTF threads is created by the metal-
to-metal contact between themating roots and crests of themale
and female threads. With all other tapered threads, there is not
always a contact at the roots and crests, but the spiral gap there
is small enough for a sealant to fill and provide a seal.

Note:
Lubricate threads before assembly! Values in chart are for steel fittings in steel ports. For stainless steel fittings, please use the
upper limit of torque range. For brass (and other soft metals), decrease torque value by 35%.
