1. What are class 150 fittings used for? ​​​​
​
The pipe with threaded end will be used to tighten up with fittings to extend the flow direction. ​These fittings are also known as class 150# or 150 LB fittings. 150# Threaded fittings are made conform to ​ASTM A351 CF8M/316 Stainless Steel material. 

3. What are threaded class 150 fittings?

In general, there are two types of connections available for low-pressure threaded fittings, NPT (National Pipe Thread) and BSPT (British Standard Pipe Tapered). With the fitting as a connector, it would stop the leakage from the connection of the two pipes.

NPT is similar to BSPT except the angle across the flanks of threads is 60 degrees and while BSPT has 55 degrees. Therefore, NPT and BSPT thread cannot be used together. The connection needs to correspond to each other. For example, NPT fittings female thread need to tighten up with NPT male thread and the same to BSPT male and female thread.

5. How do you install class 150 fittings? 

To  minimize installation leakage , please follow 4 simple steps below: 

Step 1: First, thread the male fitting with Teflon tape or plumber’s tape which is used to establish a tighter seal to prevent seepage.

Step 2: Steer clear of excess application of Teflon Tape.

Step 3: Then tighten the joints by using the wrench but avoid excessive screwing which might cause damage to the fitting or pipe.

Step 4: Make sure that the size of the fitting is respected to the size of the pipe. Installers have to ensure the same alignment is very important and must take into consideration when making a connection.
