I'm desperate to know biggrin.gif

What goes on an NPT Male thread to make it into a normal hose pipe type barb thing? Please? biggrin.gif

I'm going to need to make



Look like..



Must be possible some how smile.gif

you will have to go to a plumbing store, or home depot/loews and go to their plumbing section and you will need to find an adapter that has the hose fitting on one end and will screw onto the NPT thread....otherwise, you could heat up the hose reeeeaaaal hot and try to squeeze it over...lol...

lol so I can find something that'll screw onto that and have a nice hose barb thing on the other end? biggrin.gif

I was thinking maybe just try and shove the tubing over it anyway actually smile.gif But knowing it wasn't quite right would probably annoy me!

I'll have a look anyway, I am off to town pretty soon smile.gif Thanks!!

EDIT: I asked because the best I can find on the net is something like


Which... aint right smile.gif that won't screw on because it's got the same NPT bit on the end?

That's exactly it! Only 1/2"! You daemon! Where would I find that, some car place?

just go to the hardware store.....
Lowes, Home depot, Ace, Etc. etc.

I don't think we have those in the UK smile.gif I'll just check some plumbing place!

If I can't find them then I will be back begging and being generally annoying smile.gif Thanks

EDIT: Oh, poo! I actually need a 3/4" version with a 1/2" or 3/4" barb (should be able to stretch the tubing over a 3/4" barb). The 1/2" NPT things say they're going to take 4 weeks to deliver, can't wait that long smile.gif
Endo
simply npt is national pipe thread, if you need that one special looking end on that thingy go to ace and get a (looks like 3/4) 3/4 inch pvc coupling and then get a barb for whatever size hose you need and with 3/4 male npt costs about (coupling $.79 barb $1.50)
