    And as always, Todd is not only knowledgeable but, just one cool dude. Even if he did neglect to tell those that may not know, npt stands for national pipe thread. Then again, if anyone doesn't already know, they may need a lot of help with their build. Lol

      National pipe taper. There's also NPS, national pipe straight, which is not self-sealing.

    Generally, pipe fittings are supposed to be tightened 1-1/2 turns past hand (or finger) tight, give or take.

    Are the BSP petcocks (for old british bikes) tapered threads as well? I've installed a few of those and it doesn't seem like they are.

      I would like to know that as well.

      BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. They can be either tapered or straight. If they're straight, they'll require a sealing washer and a jam nut.
