NPT Tapping and fittings

[SteveH]

I can get you the taps from work if you still need them, let me know,

sounds like you need 1/8 NPT , this is 27tpi (threads per inch)

the 9718, must be 18 tpi so thats either ¼ NPT or 3/8 NPT as both are 18 tpi,

My guess is is it's ¼ npt.

if you can roughly measure the diameter of the fittings i can work it out.

just drop me a pm i will sort it.

no charge just postage cost.

Cheers I will have a quick measure tomorrow. Thanks for info on tpi, it makes sense now

Unfortunatly although i can spend my time doing un work related stuff there is minimal parts around here unless you want to hold something on a lathe! im looking through all the catalogs we have with customers so might strike gold

I meant Rowan, if he works somewhere that they make stuff

[SteveH]

I used to borrow stuff like this from the machine shop old boys who had everything. Might be worth asking?

I would ask if I knew any local, friendly machine shops. I try where possible to do stuff myself so I don't have any established relationships with local shops. Unless its use of a ramp or spray booth

Speed flow do the Weld in for sure

Cheers James. Merlin Motorsport are just down the road and I think they stock Speedflow stuff.

been having a look for you, ive got lists of the specifications for each size in each standard, will have a look through some catalogs to try and find something of any use

Good to see you're using your time at work today wisely!

Just had a look and not sure that they do a specific NPT set, so make sure that there are the ones you need in the kit you get. I think I have a set with a 1/8 NPT tap in it but that's it.

Yup the Clarke set only has a single 1/8th NPT tap. Not much use

I recon a local engineering place will be best. They'll have everything but will want to take bucks off me to do the job!

Cheers Andy. Searched eBay this morning and found very little UK stock. Must have been me typing in "NTP"

Not enough coffee yet! Looks like Clark do them, so I'll pop down to Machine Mart.

Search the bay, you're looking at £30 for a basic set.
