BRAKEQUIP FITTING - MALE 1/8 X 27NPTF

Designed for hydraulic and fluid transfer lines, this Brakequip fitting uses an NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread which creates a secure, dry-seal mechanical fit. That reduces the chance of leaks in demanding applications.

NPTF threads are built to create a dry-seal mechanical fit, meaning the threads themselves mate tightly enough to resist leakage without relying on sealants. That said, some assemblers still apply a light thread sealant out of habit or for added assurance in higher-demand situations. The thread form itself is engineered to handle the sealing load on its own.

For a 1/8 x 27 NPTF male port connection, this is the right thread callout. It is a male threaded fitting with a 1/8-27 NPTF thread form, which is the National Pipe Taper Fuel dry seal style.
