Thumbnail Filmstrip of MP-12-12 | 3/4" Hose x 3/4" NPTF Male Pipe Images
A MP-12-12 | 3/4" hose x 3/4" NPTF male pipe is a type of hydraulic fitting that consists of two parts: a hose fitting with a 3/4" inside diameter and a male pipe fitting with a 3/4" size and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread type. The NPTF thread has a tapered design that allows the fitting to create a seal as it is tightened into a matching female NPTF fitting, without the need for a sealing washer or O-ring. It is often used in conjunction with a matching female NPTF fitting and sealing tape or thread sealant to ensure a leak-free connection.
Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
The male pipe fitting has an NPTF thread, which stands for National Pipe Taper Fuel. This thread type is designed to create a seal as it is tightened, providing a reliable and leak-free connection without the need for additional sealing components. It is part of the mp hydraulic fittings category.
This hydraulic fitting is beneficial due to its standard sizing, NPTF thread design, and compatibility with other products like Weatherhead 12U-112. These features ensure a secure, leak-free connection, making it ideal for maintaining efficient and reliable hydraulic systems. As part of the mp hydraulic fittings category, it offers reliable performance and interchangeability.
NPT (National Pipe Taper) and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) pipe fittings both have tapered threads, but they differ in their sealing characteristics. NPT fittings require a sealing compound or tape to prevent leaks, as the threads alone do not ensure a leak-proof seal. In contrast, NPTF fittings are designed to create a dry mechanical seal without the need for additional sealing materials, as their threads are precision-designed to deform slightly upon assembly, creating a tighter seal.
Number 12 hydraulic hose typically refers to a hose with an inside diameter of 3/4 inch. Hydraulic hoses are sized based on their internal diameter, and the number 12 corresponds to the standard dash size system used in the industry, where each dash size represents 1/16 of an inch. Therefore, a dash 12 hose has an internal diameter of 12/16 inches, or 3/4 inch.
