They may have to make up lines for you if they truly are non-standard. -- I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues. --Duke Ellington The proper connection may not be obvious, like when a straight NPS female thread with a rubber gasket seals to a tapered NPT male pipe thread. Some household examples are sink and toilet feed lines and kitchen and shower spray hoses. http://www.usplastic.com/knowledgeba...contentkey=998 A similar apparent mismatch with the misleading name of "swivel" is common in hydraulics. They have a compressed metal-to-metal seal that swivels only before final tightening. http://www.discounthydraulichose.com..._NPSM_s/47.htm "A properly chamfered NPTF male will also seal with the NPSM female." -jsw |
