NPT vs NPS threads

[hankjr]

Howdy. So I'm painting my frame Saturday. Sweating final details time. HF HVLP sprayer has 1/4 NPS male threads. I think these wont really seal to the tapered NPT on the hose and every other pneumatic fitting in the free world. I found some nps npt adapters at tractor supply but both ends are male. So, will npt seal to nps with goop or tape? Anyone know if that male fitting in a paint gun handle threads out? Seems so simple to just make the gun with NPT already.....

Thx

Hank

Devilbiss looks like they have some fitting and quick connect options.

Might be common on paint guns, try an autobody supply house, most decent size citys will have one.

Do you plan on putting a quick connect on the gun or trying to just connect hose to gun. All my air tools including spray guns accept the quick connect male end. some use a male that replaces the part on your gun and some take a female that attaches to the one that's on the gun now.

I also want to say Thanks for helping Jaromy out ,he is a deserving guy and will Pay it Forward many times. He's running my old stock wheels,but unlike you I didn't give them to him....Mike

All. I slept on it and changed my tampon. I think I'm ok. The parts seem to go together ok. The key is the plastic desiccant filter and whip hose that seem to make it seal. The regulator looks like it's the NPS threads.

VT Don, thanks. whereabouts in VT? I've got my daughter next weekend and try not to make our weekends together all about me but shes working a ton of hours lately.

I'm painting tomorrow and will report results forthwith.

Much ado about nothing. It all worked out fine. Needs a light sand and second coat, but not bad for first time HVLP
