Straight Pipe To Male Tapered Fitting

 

OD = Outside Diameter

 

Prevost Aluminum Tapered Male Thread Straight Fitting for Pipe

The Prevost Aluminum Tapered Male Thread Straight Fitting is built for technicians who need a dependable, leak-resistant transition between aluminum air piping and male-threaded components. Designed for use in compressed-air and pneumatic systems, this fitting provides a secure and durable connection without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to the installation.

This straight fitting connects pipe OD (outside diameter) tubing to a male tapered NPT thread, giving installers a simple, robust way to tie rigid air lines into manifolds, valves, hoses, regulators, and other threaded hardware.

Key Features

• Aluminum body for lightweight durability
• Straight pipe-to-male-thread connection
• Tapered NPT threads for a tight, self-sealing mechanical fit
• Corrosion-resistant and suitable for demanding shop environments
• Engineered for Prevost PPS aluminum piping systems
• Compatible with standard Outside Diameter pipe sizes
• Suitable for new installs, upgrades, and system expansions

Performance Advantages

1. Secure, leak-resistant seal
   The tapered male thread design wedges firmly into matching female threads, improving sealing performance when paired with thread sealant or tape.
2. Strong yet lightweight construction
   Aluminum provides excellent strength without the added mass of brass or steel, making installation easier and reducing strain on overhead or suspended piping.
3. Reliable in industrial settings
   Ideal for high-output automotive shops, manufacturing facilities, and compressed-air distribution lines that demand long-term reliability.
4. Corrosion resistance
   The aluminum body resists oxidation and moisture in compressed-air environments, extending service life.

Ideal Applications

• Connecting aluminum air pipe to threaded tools, manifolds, and equipment
• Automotive and industrial pneumatic systems
• Expanding existing Prevost PPS piping networks
• Clean shop installations where corrosion resistance and low weight matter
• DIY or professional compressed-air system builds

Why This Fitting Works Well in Modern Air Systems

Prevost’s precision-machined aluminum fittings are engineered to maintain consistent airflow, reduce connection failures, and simplify installation. Straight fittings like this one serve as the backbone of any rigid air-piping layout, providing a clean and direct transition point between pipe OD and tapered NPT threads.
