PRESSURE FITTINGS

One of the common pressure fitting threads in the industry is NPT (National Pipe Thread), with 1/2"
NPT being a very common size.
NPT threads are slightly tapered by 1/16" over their length ( 3/4" taper per foot)and are usually used with
PTFE thread sealing tape.
Common size range : 1/8", 1/4" 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", and 1 1/2"

PRESSURE FITTINGS

Hydraulic connections.
Snaptite Connections are used on all
hydraulic oil connections, such as the
hydraulic BOP's and the power pack
to reel pack connections.
Care should be taken to bleed off
trapped pressure before releasing
or connecting these fittings.

Huber Connections
These are used on high pressure
grease connections such as on the
supply and return drain hoses on the
Grease Injection Head (GIH) and
Grease Injection Unit (GIU).

Pneumatic (Air) Connections

The most common is the "Chicago"
type, which has a bayonet type twist
connection.
For safety a locking pin is inserted to
prevent the connection twisting open.
A safety cable connects the two
hoses to constrain their movement
in the event that they separate under
pressure.
