What is fnpt?

FNPT stands for Female National Pipe Thread. FNPT fittings are a type of threaded fitting that are used in pipes, valves, and connectors to create a secure connection between two pieces of piping. Typically, these fittings have a tapered thread design that is compatible with male-threaded pipes and attachments.

FNPT fittings are commonly made from materials such as brass, stainless steel, and PVC. They are often used in applications such as water supply, plumbing, and gas lines.

One advantage of FNPT fittings is their versatility, as they can be used with a wide range of pipes and applications. Additionally, these fittings are easy to install and can be used with different types of sealing materials such as Teflon tape or pipe dope.

FNPT fittings come in various sizes and shapes to fit different types of pipes and applications. It is important to select the correct size and material for the application to ensure a proper fit and prevent leaks.
