Author Topic: How hard can it be? NPT fittings? (Read 1299 times)

I am trying to find some NPT plugs (1/4 & 1/2) to plug the holes in my new water neck.

Can I find any in the UK? I've been googling for the last hour can can't find a thing.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

I was wondering if there was such a thing as these, there's this random doo-dad sticking out of my water neck next to the temp sensor (2 holes) that does nothing, no cables for it or anything. I wanted to remove it but didn't know what to replace it with...

I can probably get these at the local hose center as they are commonly used in compressor and industrial aplications

Mmm.

I found that company, and didn't see those.

Thanks - they're just what I'm after.

Oops, replied to the 1st post not realising there were a load more.

I guess I was looking for the wrong thing.

Cheers G.

OK, another question.

Am I right in saying that NPT is a tapered self sealing thread, and won't need any form of gasket washer?

I would use some liquid teflon to be on the safe side. Ryan has mine so ask him for it.

***EDIT***

From memory BSP is the tapered onemate

Still having trouble

ColeParmer, one of them is discontinued

Cspray - square drive - ugly
RS - don't do the 1/4

Found a place in Southend, have them, nice and cheap (£9.75) for all three - miniumum order £25

Still searching
