Title: 1/4 NPT Nut
Post by: Mossy on June 01, 2016, 03:59:48 PM
Does anyone know where I can pick up a 1/4 NPT nut or would anyone have a spare knocking about the place?
It's to fit one of these : http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_15&products_id=189

I've asked around a few hardware shops but the lads all pulled faces like a dog that's just been shown a card trick.

Cheers.

This article explains the different thread types... http://www.ralstoninst.com/news/story/the-difference-between-npt-bspp-and-bspt-seals/

The npt nut would provide a tighter fit but the link you provided says a standard 1/4 inch nut as we know it would be ok.

Yeah, tried a few regular nuts but I couldn't get any to fit  ???
