Low-Pressure Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
Use these fittings for low-pressure applications in noncorrosive environments.
Compact straight connectors are able to fit into tight spaces. They are also known as merchant couplings. Connectors with NPSC threads are fully threaded from one end. Connectors with NPT threads are threaded on both ends.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads, NPSC (National Pipe Straight Coupling) threads, and NPSL (National Pipe Straight Locknut) threads are compatible with NPT threads.

Low-Pressure Galvanized Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
The galvanized finish on these fittings provides fair corrosion resistance. Fittings are for use in low-pressure applications.
Compact straight connectors are able to fit into tight spaces. They are also known as merchant couplings. Connectors with NPSC threads are fully threaded from one end. Connectors with NPT threads are threaded on both ends.
NPSC (National Pipe Straight Coupling) threads and NPSL (National Pipe Straight Locknut) threads are compatible with NPT threads.
