    Application Guidelines for Tapered Threads UN / UNF Threads


    Straight Connectors with NPT/NTPF 3/4-14 and Smaller SAE J1926 uses UN/UNF threads and is often referred to as
    SAE Straight Thread. The female port is often referred to as
    Straight connectors with 3/4-14 NPT/NPTF and smaller male ORB or O-ring boss. This port style, shown in Fig. G4, is widely

    They are also well suited for low cycle non-pulsating (static)
    applications with pressures in excess of 6,000 psi.

    All Shaped Connectors with NPT/NPTF Threads
    It is difficult to always tighten shapes with pipe threads to an
    optimum tightness level because of orientation requirements.
    Also, all connectors in this category with pipe threads have low
    reliability for leak free operation in dynamic applications. There-
    fore, they are not preferred where a leak free joint is required. Fig. G4 — Typical O-Ring Boss Port

    While a pipe thread connection can be disassembled and re- BSPP
    assembled in low-pressure systems, it is not intended to be a

    known as BSPP and a tapered form known as BSPT. These

    is recommended. For applications where elastomeric seals can’t
    be used, consult the manufacturer.
    As noted, BSPT and metric taper are designed and perform
    similarly. Follow the NPT/NPTF guidelines for their application.
    In general, tapered thread connections have the following
    limitations which should be considered when specifying port
    connections:
    • Poor dynamic sealing characteristics Fig. G5 — O-Ring with Retaining Ring
    • Possible expansion, and even cracking, of the port
    • Orientation is a concern in shaped connectors
    Additional sealing methods such as a cutting face or an EOlastic

    ing more popular in hydraulic systems because they are more
    reliable and easier to service.
    Three types of threads are used for parallel thread ports:
    • UN/UNF (SAE straight thread)
    • BSPP (British Standard Pipe, Parallel)
    • Metric parallel
    Because parallel threads only serve one function (i.e. holding
    the fitting in place), some other means of sealing is always
    present, such as an elastomeric O-ring or a metal seal. There
    are many variations of sealing methods, and in some cases, Fig. G6 — O-Ring in Fitting Groove
    they are interchangeable among the different thread forms and
    may appear to be similar.
