What does NPT stand for? The best known and most widely used connection where the pipe thread provides both the mechanical joint and the hydraulic seal is the American National Pipe Tapered Thread, also referred to as NPT. NPT has a tapered male and female thread that seals with Teflon tape or jointing compound.

What is the difference between NPT and standard thread?

BSP threads are cut at 55 degrees, while NPT are cut at 60 degrees. You can typically identify between BSP & NPT by feeling whether the threads are flat and sharp or rounded on top. NPT feels a lot sharper than BSP.

Another important difference is that for many BSPT pipe sizes, the thread pitch differs from NPT. Thus an NPT male will sometimes fit into a BSPT fitting or vice versa but they will not seal.
