GlowShift 1/8 NPT Drill and Tap Kit

Product Information

The first task of my work will consist in producing a 3D printed model of my supposedly improved sprinkler. Even though we’ll be modeling a standard part in this example, this procedure may also be applied to custom components where the use of an NPT thread is appropriate.

External Thread Overall Length, L4: Total length of the external threads, included incomplete threads, or longer just as long as the total thread length is covered. National Pipe Thread Taper or NPT threaded pipes and fittings are deployed in a variety of fields where transportation or containment of liquids, gases, steam, or hydraulic fluid is required.Create a Sketch on the rear face of the extrusion and draw a circle equal to the outer diameter of the pipe.

Now, for the drill bit size, the secret lies in subtracting the pitch of the thread from its diameter.Finding the right drill bit size can be confusing, but this little knowledge can save you from major headaches. The angle between the sides of the thread is 60° when measured with a line bisecting the angle, perpendicular to the center axis.

Sizes and dimensions of pipes and tubes, and their fittings - inside and outside diameter, weight and more. Although finding the correct drill bit size for a 1/8″ NPT tap may seem challenging, it’s all about having the right resources, like tap drill charts.The next step is the End Condition which defines the total length of the thread, it can be left as the default value or customized to a specific distance. With this handy little bit in your toolbox, you’ll be all set to tackle any project that requires connecting pipes with 1/8 NPT threads.
