Our Straight Tube x NPT Adapters in 316 stainless steel (316SS) are high-performance fittings designed to connect straight tubing to NPT (National Pipe Thread) threaded connections in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. These adapters are made from 316SS, a material known for its superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for use in aggressive environments such as chemical processing, marine, and food industries. The NPT side of the adapter features tapered threads that create a tight seal when screwed into NPT-compatible components, ensuring a leak-proof connection. The tube side of the adapter connects to straight tubing, often made from materials like steel, copper, or aluminum, which are used to transport fluids or gases. The tube is securely inserted into the adapter, with a compression fitting ensuring a durable, leak-free connection. NPT fittings are popular for their ability to handle high-pressure applications, providing reliable, secure connections in fluid systems.
