In plumbing, MPT stands for Male Pipe Thread. It refers to a type of threaded connection where the male end of a pipe or fitting has external threads designed to fit into a female counterpart with internal threads. MPT connections are commonly used for connecting pipes and fittings in various plumbing applications.
In plumbing, "MHT" stands for Male Hose Thread. It refers to a type of threaded connection that is used to attach hoses or fittings to various plumbing fixtures. MHT connections feature external threads, allowing them to screw into female hose threads (FHT) or other compatible fittings. This type of connection is commonly used in outdoor plumbing applications, such as garden hoses and irrigation systems.
Water pipe threads are tapered, electrical pipe is not tapered.

MIP ==> Male Iron Pipe thread (i.e. threads on outside of fitting) FIP ==> Female Iron Pipe thread (i.e. threads on inside of fitting)

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.
Then you will probably never be able to undo the conduit.
NPT = pipe Briggs standard = Pipe NFT and NFC and ASAE = bolt
In plumbing we use BOTH right and left handed threads depeng on the useage Toilet handles for example are left handed threads threaded rod used for clevis hangers and riser clamps are right handed threads

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.
