Published 03/15/2023
Question:
will the 1/2 female flared swivel end of your hoses with 3/8 male npt connect directly to our 1/2 propane pipeline npt or do I need something else? thanks,

Expert Reply:
The 1/2" SAE Swivel fitting on the # 37207-31465 you were looking at would require a 1/2" SAE male fitting. SAE fittings have a straight thread and require an O-Ring for a proper seal, while NPT uses its tapered thread pitch for a seal. Using the two together can lead to leaks.
You should be able to find a 1/2" NPT female to 3/8" male flare fitting at your local hardware store and from there you could use a 3/8" swivel female flare fitting hose to whatever style fitting you need to connect to your appliance or tank. If you could tell me what you're connecting to I could find the correct adapter hose for you.
