3/8" M-NPT Cone 60 to 1/4" F- NPT

A 3/8" M-NPT Cone 60 to 1/4" F-NPT is a type of pipe fitting or adapter with the following specifications:

1. 3/8" M-NPT:

   • 3/8" refers to the male end's nominal pipe size (3/8-inch), which corresponds to the diameter of the pipe or fitting.
   • M-NPT stands for Male National Pipe Thread, a standard for threaded pipes and fittings. This indicates that one side of the fitting has male threads that will screw into a female NPT (National Pipe Thread) fitting.

2. Cone 60:

   • This refers to the 60° cone angle of the fitting. In NPT fittings, a conical shape is used to create a tight, leak-free seal. The 60° angle is part of the taper of the male threads that ensures a secure connection when matched with the female threads.

3. 1/4" F-NPT:

   • 1/4" refers to the nominal pipe size (1/4-inch) of the female side of the fitting.
   • F-NPT stands for Female National Pipe Thread, meaning that this side of the fitting has female threads that will accept a male NPT connection.

Purpose:

This fitting is used to connect pipes or components of different sizes, in this case, reducing from 3/8" male NPT to 1/4" female NPT. The conical 60° shape ensures that the connection is tight and resistant to leaks, which is important in systems dealing with fluids, gases, or compressed air.

Application:

These types of fittings are used in hydraulic systems, plumbing, fuel lines, or other fluid systems requiring threaded connections that need to be secure and leak-proof.
