Hose Tail – NPT Male Tapered – Straight – Two-Piece Crimp-On

An NPT tapered male on a straight crimp tail, for American-pattern tapered ports on imported machinery and industrial gear.

Mild steel body with a plated finish, manufactured to the standard listed above.

This is the tail only – ferrules are sold separately

A two-piece crimp-on assembly is two separate parts: this tail (the stem) and a ferrule that crimps over the hose. The ferrule is not included. You need one ferrule per tail.

We sell them separately on purpose. Several different ferrule styles will fit, and the right one depends on the hose you are crimping onto, not just the size:

• FS‑R2 Multi‑Fit – 1‑wire, 2‑wire, M3K and MXT braided hose. One series covers the lot, so most jobs take this.
• FS‑R7 – thermoplastic 100R7 hose. Different outside diameter and crimp figure to braided hose.
• FS‑R14 – PTFE 100R14 hose with stainless braid.

Not sure which one? Tell us the hose you are using on 1300 146 737 and we will match it. Never mix a tail from one system with a ferrule from another – the crimp diameter will be wrong.

Thread Standards

• NPT Tapered Male – ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 tapered pipe thread, seals on thread interference, so tape or sealant is a must

How to Choose

• A straight tail is the default. Only go to a bend when the hose would otherwise leave the port at an angle it does not like.
• The tapered thread seals on itself, so it needs a thread sealant rated for hydraulic oil.
• NPT is 60°, BSPT is 55°. They will start together and strip. Confirm the port before you commit.

Technicians Advice

Wind it hand tight then two to three turns and stop. An NPT male wedges as it goes and chasing a weep with more torque splits the port casting long before it seals.

Where You’ll Find It

• NPT Tapered Male – American-built gearboxes, pumps, compressors and older industrial pipework.

Cross-Reference

• NPT Tapered Male – ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 tapered pipe thread. The dryseal variant is written NPTF.

Parker, Gates, Aeroquip and Ryco all manufacture to these same standards under their own part numbering, so a fitting built to the standard above will mate with theirs.

Cross-references are given at series level as a guide to the standard, not as a part-for-part substitution. Always confirm the thread form, size and seal type against the port before ordering.
