OUR RANGE OF NPT THREADED FITTINGS
Our Range Of NPT Threaded Fittings
NPT is a family of technical standards for screw threads to connect pipes and fittings
NPT stands for National Pipe Thread and is considered to be the American alternative to the original BSP thread which is from Britain.
The thread has been adopted by the United States and some associated countries. NPT is largely used in New Zealand when imported turn-key systems, pumps or fittings have existing NPT threads. This has increased in recent years. Common applications for stainless steel NPT fittings in New Zealand include gas lines, chemical processing, pumping and machinery.
NPT threads are not compatible with BSP threads. This is because they have a steeper thread pitch angle of 60 degrees and the peaks and valleys are square. Whereas the BSP thread has a 55 degree thread pitch angle and rounded peaks and valleys.
Our NPT threaded fittings conform with Manufacturing Standard ASME B1.20.1 and are made from Stainless Steel Grade 316. This is marine grade meaning it can be exposed to salt water or harsh outdoor conditions. The standard Pressure Rating for NPT fittings is 150lbs or 10 bar.
One particular item in this range that is extremely useful is our NPT to BSP adapters. This allows NPT threads to be converted back to a more common thread type.
We stock NPT Elbows, Tee’s, Sockets, Nipples, Hex Plugs and Hex Bushes and NPT to BSP Adapters in different sizes from ⅛” – 4”.

FlexiFlow: Stainless Steel Braided Flexible Hose
The Metal Company stock both PTFE and stainless steel convoluted flexible braided hoses. We hold these in stock ready for dispatch over night. Because of their flexibility these hoses are great for reducing mechanical vibration, compensating for expansion and contraction or misalignment of pipework.
RapidPress Deburrer Tool | RapidPress Rundown
The RapidPress Deburrer Tool is designed for use on RapidPress tube from 15-54mm but can also be used on other stainless tubes or pipes. Watch Patrick discuss what the deburrer tool is and how to use it.
RapidPress Rotary Tube Cutter | RapidPress Rundown
The RapidPress rotary tube cutter is our preferred method of cutting tubes from 15mm – 76mm as it leaves a burr free edge on the external of the tube. Watch Patrick discuss how to use this tool.
RapidPress Expansion Bellows | RapidPress Rundown
When pipelines are heated or cooled it can cause them to expand or contract in length. If this is not compensated for it can put extreme pressure on welds or pressed joints resulting in failure. Watch Patrick discuss our RapidPress Expansion Bellows.
