• No welding required
• Quick installation and disassembly
• Ideal for hazardous areas

Size Range

• Available: NPS 1/2 inch to NPS 4 inch
• DN15 to DN100 metric sizes
• Pressure classes: 150 to 2500

Thread Standards

Standard	Region	Description
NPT	North America	National Pipe Tapered
BSP	Europe/Asia	British Standard Pipe
PT	Japan	Japanese Taper Pipe
