Plumbing Question?

[KMP]

Is MIPT and FIPT the same concept as boy parts and girl parts? If so, what is Slip?

[D&KSac]

Yes i think those two are in relation to boys and girls parts. But threaded. Slip has no threads

[kevin95695]

MIPT = Mail Iron Pipe Thread.

FIPT = Female Iron Pipe Thread.

Both standardized threading rates, just boy/girl parts.

Slip = no threads = slick. Still male/female, just slip/glue in place rather than thread in place.

Right?

[gotfin]

threaded is threaded, male or female. then you have socket, female no threads and spigot, male no threads.
hope that helps.

[KMP]

got it...

mipt = boy part w/threads

fipt = girl part w/threads

socket = girl part no threads

spigot = boy part no threads

is there such a thing as ribbed; um, never mind

Barbed

and lubed...glue already applied. so bad

[KMP]

anyone have bulkhead nomenclature down? what's the flanged side? and what's the back side?

[KMP]

this is what is screwing me up. on marine depot this is called a double threaded bulkhead fitting. looks like a mipt/socket to me. also says it's threaded on the front and back...which is the front? which is the back?

[KMP]

also, need a schedule 80 - 90 degree/boy part with threads; girl part with no threads. i've checked savko, flex pvc, and other websites. only see the schedlue 40.




ok, so will schedule 40 work? of course, but it won't match my oceans motion [

[gotfin]

in sch 80 you may have to use a 90 with half a nipple to pull that off. cut say a 3" nipple in half and glue into a slipxslip 90. I haven't seen a street 90 like that in sch80 before.

[KMP]

I found a street 90 spigot/slip in schedule 80. Could do that; but then I will have to change bulkheads to have a MIPT/Slip. Can't seem to find those either...darn it.
