I've got a contender. I bought some of those HF pipe clamp parts awhile

I don't know why you're having a problem, I got some of those and they
fit the pipes on the first try and have worked just fine ever since.


Mainly because the "threading" where the pipe fits is so badly cast
there's no real resemblance to the pipe threads. How can I describe it?
There are areas in the threading near the seams of the mold that are
deformed: sunken, perhaps out of register with one another in one or
more directions, rough from defects in the mold.

I cannot get the pipe on these threads (using black pipe, npt 14, 3/4").
