Female Iron Pipe Size
Like when ordering a copper Female fitting C FIPS
Then of course you have MIPS = Male Iron Pipe Size
The standard threads are the Briggs standard
BUT American
plumbers are known for not reading and thus being lazy call the threads NPT National Pipe Threads
Of course there are NFT (National fine threads) and Metric and left handed NPT and ASAE threads.
The API has their own thread taper BUT acordingly all these threads when adapted to male or Female will give you some indication as to what it adapts to.
Copper Compression T.P copper IPS T.P T.P T.P FIPS
T.P MIPS
Copper type K,L,M, ACR, DWV Mips or FIPS or CI Or C C.
Of course you can go from Plastic to IPS or FIPS
Hope this helps IF you need more detail please E mail me and ILL be happy to explain it.
