One Piece Crimp Coupling: NPT Male. Size Range 3/8" 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.
SG Couplings suit the following Continental hoses:
SR12 SAE 100R12 EN 856 R12 | SAE 100R15 EN 857 4SP | SR13 SAE 100R13 EN 856 R13 | XCP3S SAE 100R12 | SR15 SAE 100R15 | XCP4S SAE 100R12 | XCP5S SAE 100R13 | XCP6S SAE 100R15.
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.
