Product Overview
Achieve critical “Dryseal” performance with our NPTF Full Profile laydown threading inserts. Unlike standard NPT, the NPTF profile is engineered with controlled crest and root heights to ensure an interference fit. This eliminates spiral leakage paths, allowing for pressure-tight joints without the need for sealants (Teflon tape or dope).
These carbide threading inserts feature a Full Profile design that cuts the thread groove, the specific NPTF truncation, and the 1:16 taper (1°47′) 6 in a single pass, ensuring strict compliance with ANSI B1.20.3 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
- Leak-Proof Integrity: Essential for hydraulic and fuel systems where sealants could contaminate the fluid.
- The 16ER Standard: Our 16er threading inserts (3/8″ / 9.525mm I.C.) cover the most popular pipe sizes from 1/8″ to 2″.
- Small Bore Capability: We offer 1/4″ (6.35mm) I.C. inserts (11IR series) for threading small internal ports and fittings.
- Directional Options: To support complex manufacturing, we provide standard right-hand tools and specific left hand thread insert (EL/IL) models.
