What is NPS Thread?
NPS (National Pipe Straight) is a straight thread form commonly used on refrigerant cylinder valves. Unlike tapered pipe threads (NPT), NPS threads are parallel and require a gasket or O-ring for sealing. The 3/4" NPS female connection on this adapter is designed to thread onto standard refrigerant cylinder valves.
What is Male Flare (MFL)?
Male Flare (MFL) is a 45-degree flare fitting commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The 1/4" MFL connection on this adapter allows you to connect standard refrigerant service hoses and equipment to refrigerant cylinders.
