Whats the difference between plumbing pipe threads and conduit pipe threads?
Plumbing pipe threads are squared and conduit pipe threads are tapered.
What is the difference between single and double screw threads?
screw thread are single threads which means they are not double
What is the difference between rigid electrical pipe and plumbing pipe?
The threads
Why do you measure effective diameter of a screw thread?
the difference between the min and max effective of your two threads will tell you if there going to clash on assembly
What is the difference between BSPT and NPT?
Thread angle is different (55° vs 60°).NPT threads are flattened at the peaks and valleys, while BSPT threads are rounded.Threads per inch (TPI) is different for two (except for a couple of cases).
What is the difference between plumbing MIP and FIP?
MIP ==> Male Iron Pipe thread (i.e. threads on outside of fitting) FIP ==> Female Iron Pipe thread (i.e. threads on inside of fitting)
What is the diffidence Compression and Female Pipe Threads?
Compression uses a ferrule or brass ring around the pipe that is compressed by the nut into the pipe and against the fitting. There is no such thing as Female Pipe Threads. There are Male and Female fittings, the pipe is the Male side and the fitting is Female. The Male goes inside of the Female. They both have pipe threads. Pipe thread, Compression, and Flare all have different thread pattern so that they cannot be mixed. They all do different jobs.
How do you clean pipe thread compound TFE paste off of pipe threads?
It is spread on the threads of pipe before being screwed into a fitting so that the threads will make a seal. Since pipe threads are not machined to fit together perfectly the paste makes up the difference and is compressed between the grooves on the two halves.
Whats the difference between plumbing pipe threads and conduit pipe threads?
Plumbing pipe threads are squared and conduit pipe threads are tapered.
What is the difference between pipe threads and electrical conduit pipe threads?
Water pipe threads are tapered, electrical pipe is not tapered.
What is a FTG x C copper fitting?
C = cupped end - the type you would slide over another pipe to make a sweat connection FTG = fitting end - the type that slides inside a cupped end, also called a "street" fitting M = male pipe threads FE (sometimes listed as just F, not correct)= female pipe threads The "X" is "by", so C X C is "cupped by cupped", a fitting with two ends such as a coupling or elbow, both cupped for sweating onto a pipe or fitting end. C X C X C would be a fitting with three ends such as a tee, all cupped. C X FTG could be a street elbow or a reducing bushing, one part slides over a pipe, the other inside another cupped fitting. C is indeed a cupped fitting. CMP is compression, but there is no such thing as a copper fitting with a compression connection. There are brass and plastic compression fittings that will fit copper pipe, but not copper compression fittings.
What is the difference between single and double screw threads?
screw thread are single threads which means they are not double
What is the difference between rigid electrical pipe and plumbing pipe?
The threads
What is the difference between capillitial threads and a columella?
Capillitial threads are very minute forms of slime mold. A columella has numerous threads radiating from all sections of the cell.
What is the difference between pipe threads and bolt threads?
NPT = pipe Briggs standard = Pipe NFT and NFC and ASAE = bolt
How do you repair the worn threads on a garden faucet?
You have a new one installed!ANS 2 - Usually very easy to fit a new faucet, even directly to a pipe. -Many faucets now come with a compression fitting.
