Thumbnail Filmstrip of MP-06-06-43 | 3/8" Hose x 3/8" Male NPTF Rigid (43 Series) Images
A MP-06-06-43 | 3/8" hose x 3/8" NPTF male pipe is a type of hydraulic fitting that consists of two parts: a hose fitting with a 3/8" inside diameter and a male pipe fitting with a 3/8" 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.
These fittings are designed to work in Parker crimping machines and with Parker hose. These fittings will crimp the same as a Parker 43 series fitting in your Parker machine, or you can use our Crimp Specs if you have an adjustable hose crimper. Currently we have a limited thread selection, but are bringing in more threads and sizes within the next 6 months. Don't see a fitting you are looking for? Give us a call or email us and we will let you know if that one is already on our list.
Our Parker Compatible 43 series fittings feature 2 etched lines along the lower part of the shell, indicating they are for use with most 2-wire hydraulic hoses.
Important Note: The number stamped on the shell of these fittings relates to the hose size.
Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
Certainly! The "F" in NPTF stands for "Fuel." NPTF, or National Pipe Taper Fuel, refers to a type of threaded pipe connection designed to create a leak-free seal for fuel and other liquids under pressure.
NPTF stands for National Pipe Taper Fuel, a type of thread used in fittings to create a seal without the need for a sealant. It is designed to be dry-sealing, with threads that deform slightly when tightened to create a leak-proof connection.
NPTF stands for National Pipe Taper Fuel, which is a type of tapered pipe thread used for creating pressure-tight seals in piping systems. Unlike NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads, NPTF threads are designed to create a dry seal without the need for additional sealing compounds or tape.
Yes, there is a difference between NPT (National Pipe Taper) and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel). NPT threads are designed primarily for sealing with the use of a sealing compound, while NPTF threads have a more precise thread form and are designed to create a dry seal without the need for a sealant, making them suitable for fuel and high-pressure applications.
Yes, NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads can be used for hydraulic fittings, but they are not typically recommended for high-pressure hydraulic systems due to their tapered design, which can be prone to leaks. For better sealing and reliability in hydraulic applications, it is generally preferable to use fittings with O-ring seals or other dedicated hydraulic fitting standards like JIC or SAE.
NPT (National Pipe Taper) and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) threads are similar but not identical; NPTF threads have a more precise design for a leak-free seal without additional sealants. While they can sometimes be used together in non-critical applications, it is not recommended for high-pressure or safety-critical systems due to potential leakage issues.
The National Pipe Taper Fuel (NPTF) thread specification is a dry-seal pipe thread designed to provide a leak-proof seal without the need for sealants, as opposed to the standard NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads. The NPTF thread has slightly different tolerances, with a more controlled thread crest and root, allowing for a metal-to-metal seal when properly tightened. This makes NPTF suitable for applications where the avoidance of leakage is critical, such as in fuel and hydraulic systems.
NPT (National Pipe Taper) and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) are both types of thread standards used in hydraulic systems. The primary difference is that NPT threads require a sealant to ensure a leak-proof connection, while NPTF threads are designed to create a dry seal without the need for additional sealants, as they have tighter tolerances and are engineered to compress and seal on their own. This makes NPTF more suitable for applications where leakage prevention is critical.
A 3/8 NPT thread refers to a National Pipe Taper (NPT) thread size, commonly used for pipes and fittings in North America. The "3/8" denotes the nominal pipe size, which corresponds to an outer diameter of approximately 0.675 inches, although the thread dimensions and pitch are standardized to ensure a tapered, sealing fit for fluid or gas connections. NPT threads are designed to provide a tight seal, typically requiring the use of thread sealant or tape.
To determine NPT (National Pipe Taper) size, measure the outside diameter of the male threads or the inside diameter of the female threads, and then use a pipe sizing chart to match the measurement to the corresponding NPT size. Keep in mind that NPT sizes do not directly correspond to the actual diameter in inches; for example, a 1/2-inch NPT pipe has an outside diameter of approximately 0.84 inches.
