What is normal difference between npt and nc thread?

The normal difference between NPT (National Pipe Tapered) and NC (National Coarse) threads lies in their design and application. NPT threads are tapered and primarily used for plumbing and fluid transfer applications, ensuring a tight seal through the tapering. In contrast, NC threads are straight and used primarily for fastening applications, such as bolts and screws. The tapering in NPT allows for a secure, leak-proof connection, while NC threads are designed for easy assembly and disassembly without sealing requirements.

What does thread tape do and how does it help in plumbing projects?

Thread tape, also known as Teflon tape, is a thin, white tape used to seal pipe threads in plumbing projects. It helps create a tight seal between threaded pipe fittings, preventing leaks and ensuring a secure connection. The tape fills in gaps between the threads, reducing the risk of water or gas escaping.
