Material 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durable performance in challenging environments Thread options NPT male thread sizes available: 1/8', 1/4', 3/8', 1/2', 3/4', 1', 11/4' Key benefits Corrosion resistant and durable: 304 stainless steel stands up to water, oils, and many chemicals, reducing the need for frequent replacements Broad compatibility: standard NPT male threads cover a wide range of piping and equipment, enabling versatile use Secure, leak resistant connections: precise threading and smooth finishes help promote reliable seals when paired with matching female fittings Flexible sizing: a wide size range allows you to use a single component in multiple configurations and systems Low maintenance: corrosion resistance and robust construction reduce maintenance requirements over time What makes it stand out 304 stainless steel material combines strength with corrosion resistance for long service life in both indoor and outdoor applications Extensive thread size availability provides compatibility with many standard NPT fittings and systems Clean, smooth profile suitable for precision installations where tight tolerances matter Specifications at a glance Material: 304 stainless steel Thread type: NPT male Available thread sizes: 1/8', 1/4', 3/8', 1/2', 3/4', 1', 11/4' Recommended applications Industrial and machinery piping: connect components in hydraulic or pneumatic systems that use NPT fittings Water supply and irrigation systems: durable connections in residential or commercial setups Food processing or sanitary equipment: corrosion resistant fittings for environments requiring cleanability and durability 23 practical use scenarios Scenario 1: Replacing worn fittings in a workshop hydraulic assembly. Choose the matching NPT male size to connect hoses or components, use appropriate sealant or tape, and ensure a tight, leak fit. Scenario 2: Upgrading a water line in a commercial kitchen. Select a 304 stainless steel NPT male fitting in the correct size to join stainless steel piping, ensuring longterm corrosion resistance in a moisture environment. Scenario 3: Commissioning a pneumatic system in manufacturing equipment. Use a 304 stainless steel NPT male fitting to create durable, corrosionresistant connections between components that experience frequent cycling and exposure to air and oils. Sizing and installation notes Always match the NPT male thread size to the corresponding female thread to ensure proper fit Use an appropriate sealant or PTFE tape rated for NPT threads to promote a reliable seal Confirm system pressure and temperature compatibility with the chosen size and material before installation
