FAQ

Do NPT threads need sealant? Yes. NPT threads seal as the taper wedges together, but they still need pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape for a leak-free joint.

Carbon steel or HSS? Carbon steel taps are an economical choice for occasional use and thread repair. For frequent production tapping or harder metals, choose a high speed steel (HSS) tap.
