1/8-27 NPT, 15&deg MPN:46801

A 1/8-27 NPT thread has several advantages over other threading types due to its unique design features. Firstly, this thread form provides a leak proof seal when tightened correctly which is important for high pressure applications like in plumbing systems or hydraulic equipment where leaks could cause significant damage or injury. Additionally, it is suitable for use with soft materials such as plastic and rubber making it versatile across different industries from automotive to aerospace. The 15-degree angle of the V-thread helps reduce stress concentration at the root which can cause premature failure over time, resulting in longer service life compared to other thread forms. These benefits make this thread type ideal for taps and dies as it provides precision, reliability, durability, and compatibility across various applications and materials.
