NST also goes by the\ninitials NH or National Hose. It can even be referred to as NHT or National\nHose Thread. But NST or NH is more common these days. NH = NST.◆NPSH: National\nPipe Straight Hose (NPSH) or Iron Pipe Thread (IPT) has the same threads per\ninch (TPI) as National Pipe Tapered (NPT) but the thread does not taper. NPSH\nis a straight thread and seals by a gasket in the female coupling which allows\nfor a swivel, just like NH \/ NST, which make both ideal for hose couplings.\nWarning - It will NOT thread into a female NPT pipe. For example, a male NPSH\ncoupling will NOT thread into a female metal or pvc pipe.◆NPT: National Pipe\nTapered is common in plumbing and some industrial uses. Sometimes referred to\nas pipe thread because PVC pipe and schedule 40 pipe are typically threaded in\nNPT. As its name implies this is a tapered thread so that the outside diameter\nof the male (ODM) gets smaller towards the end of the fitting and the inside\ndiameter of the female narrows with depth. As the two fittings are threaded\ntogether the opposite tapers force thread friction and makes the seal without\nthe use of a gasket.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eHex nipple fitting 1-1\/2\" NH to 1-1\/2\" NPT Double Male Fire Hose Adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eMale to male adapters are used to bridge two female hose, pipe or valve fittings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSuitable for use in general firefighting applications.
