RECONFIRMATION NOTICE
Major stakeholders of this publication have reviewed the content of this publication and in accordance with Standards Australia procedures for reconfirmation, it has been determined that the publication is still valid and does not require change.
Certain documents referenced in the publication may have been amended since the original date of publication. Users are advised to ensure that they are using the latest versions of such documents as appropriate, unless advised otherwise in this Reconfirmation Notice.
Approved for reconfirmation in accordance with Standards Australia procedures for reconfirmation on 29 August 2018.
This standard relates to tube fittings of the following types: 45-degree flared ( 1/8- 1 in) Inverted flared ( 1/8- 3/4in) Ball sleeve ( 1/8- 3/4in).
The fittings are intended primarily for automotive use, and are screwed Dryseal American Standard Taper Pipe thread (NPTF) and Unified threads.
NOTE: Other fittings in common use are screwed with British Standard Pipe taper threads and Unified threads. The BSP thread is similar to the NPTF thread, having the same t.p.i. in the 1/2in and 3/4in sizes, and differing by not more than one t.p.i. in the other sizes. BSP and NPTF threads are, however, not compatible, having different thread forms and methods of sealing, and the fittings are not interchangeable in any sizes.
