One Piece Crimp Coupling: NPT Male. Size Range 1/8" to 1-1/2"
End 1 = Hose. End 2 = NPT Male.
Continental fittings are constructed from a single piece of steel without brazed or welded joints to provide ultimate protection against leaks and potential leak paths. With full-length crimps and a low-profile design that will last longer, the interlocking Bite-to-Wire technology delivers maximum coupling retention for safer assembly and reliability under the toughest pressure — no internal or external skive required.
B2 Couplings suit the following Continental hoses:
SR1SN, DR1SN, SFS, SR2SN, DR2SN, LR2SN, LR16SC, LCP3, SR16SC, DR16SC, XR16SC, SCP3, ACP3, XCP3, XCP4, SR12, ARC12, ARC16SC and Hot Oiler C.
NPTF
Identification: National Pipe Tapered Fuels. Tapered thread.
Seal: The thread is tapered and sealing takes place with the deformation of the threads. The NPTF male has a 30º seat and will mate with the NPTF female, also with tapered threads, but no seat. A thread sealant is commonly used. An NPTF male with a 30º seat will mate with an NPSM female, which has straight threads and a 30º inverted seat. The sealing takes place on the 30º seat.
Application: The NPTF fitting is a dry seal thread, commonly used in fluid power systems but not recommended by the National Fluid Power Association for hydraulic applications.
