NP and BSP (National Pipe and British Standard Pipe) thread size like 1/4" NP are not really indicative of actual diameter per se, plus you have taper seal threads (NSPT and BSPT) to bear in mind. Threads are a subject in themselves :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_pipe_thread https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Standard_Pipe Best regards, Chris mailto:[email protected] DW> The bit of threaded tubing I found at the hardware store that fits DW> perfectly is labeled: DW> ProLine plumbing and heating products DW> BN-750NLB DW> 877250 DW> Nipple DW> (Niple) DW> 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch x 6 inch DW> MIP DW> for installation instructions visit: DW> www.bkproducts.com DW> I was surprised by the 1/4 inch bit, as it seems distinctly larger. It is DW> definitely tapered and threads smoothly, and seats firmly with all of the DW> threads engaged.
