Internal threads are threads inside of a hole in something.

Like a nut, for instance.

External threads are threads on the outside of a cylindrical object.

Like a bolt, for instance.

What pipe fitting has external and internal threads?

A pipe fitting that has both external and internal threads is called a "coupling." Couplings are used to connect two lengths of pipe, with one end having female threads (internal) to receive a male threaded pipe and the other end having male threads (external) to connect to another fitting or pipe. This design allows for versatile connections in plumbing and piping systems.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of internal and external threads?

Internal threads, found inside holes, provide a secure connection and are typically less prone to damage since the external environment doesn't wear on them. They are often easier to assemble in confined spaces. Conversely, external threads are easier to manufacture and can be used in a wider range of applications. However, they may be more susceptible to wear and damage over time due to exposure.

What is the difference between M8 x 1.25 6g and M8 x 1.25 6h thread gauges?

The difference between M8 x 1.25 6g and M8 x 1.25 6h thread gauges lies in their tolerance classes. The "6g" designation indicates a medium external thread tolerance for male threads, while the "6h" designation refers to a medium internal thread tolerance for female threads. This means that a 6g gauge will fit into a 6h gauge with a specific amount of play, ensuring proper engagement between male and female threads in assembly.
