The male NPTF (Dryseal) tapered thread will mate
with the NPTF tapered female, which is usually a
port, and seal when the special threads are
crushed together. Additional sealing aids such as
pipe dope and teflon tape are often used with these
threads. If the male end has a 30° seat it will mate
with the 30° cone seat in the NPSM straight thread
swivel female, usually found on adapters, and is
mechanically held together by the threads.
NPTF & NPSM threads are not interchangeable with
British pipe threads.

The SAE 45° flare connectors are similar to the 37°

the same manner.
45° connectors are commonly found in automotive
applications, on brass adapters, and are generally
used at lower pressures than 37° flare fittings.
Many sizes have threads identical to those on 37°
JIC connectors. Check the threads and flares care-
fully to make positive identification.

J518 flanges come in two pressure classes. The
standard series, Code 61, which goes to 5000 psi
and the high pressure series, Code 62, where all
sizes are rated at 6000 psi.
