Excellent. Thanks a lot. First time I found the reason why I could not match the thread measurement with the labeling of the threads.

At 5:49 in video there is a large internal taper on NPT fitting. Does this have any sealing function or is it just the way it is machined internally.

[@GreggDistributorsLP]

Yes, it does have a sealing function. The purpose of this is better explained in our NPSM video: ruclips.net/video/VfnNYKjM8Bo/видео.html

[@sergioblancoluna5959]

Is it possible connect a npt male 1/2 to 1/2 nptf female?

[@GreggDistributorsLP]

Yes, but as indicated, you should still use a thread tape or pipe dope to seal the threads properly:

[@sharons6013]

Whether BSP or BSPT thread require sealant as NPT ?
