What is PTF threads on regulator?

**Reelale** · 10-14-2009, 10:17 PM

Just bought a regulator off ebay, and it has 1/4" PTF ports. Will these work with MFL connectors? Do I need adapters? It seems that NPT and PTF threads are interchangeable, but I'm soooooo confused.

Everything I've read calls PTF a dry seal and it should thread into NPT females. Same pitch and thread size just eliminated the first turn of thread on the male part.

Thanks for the reply. so it should work with standard fittings?

It should work with 1/4" NPT fittings. Be sure to use the right rating pipe on the high pressure sides. The low pressure side can use any class of brass.
