FAQ
Q: What does FPT mean?
A: FPT stands for Female Pipe Thread. This is the threaded end that screws into a male threaded fitting or outlet, such as the SS4 fountain outlet.
Q: How do I know which barb size I need?
A: Measure the inner diameter (ID) of your flexible tubing. Choose the fitting with a barb size that matches your tubing: 3/8" barb for 3/8" ID tubing, 1/2" barb for 1/2" ID tubing, or 3/4" barb for 3/4" ID tubing.
Q: Will this work with vinyl tubing?
A: Yes, these fittings work with vinyl tubing, flexible PVC, and other flexible tubing materials commonly used in fountain and statuary applications.
Q: Do I need thread sealant or tape?
A: For best results and to prevent leaks, use Teflon tape or pipe thread sealant on the threaded connection when installing into your fountain outlet or fitting.
Q: Will the tubing stay on the barb securely?
A: Yes, the barbed design grips the tubing securely. For additional security in high-pressure applications, you can add a hose clamp over the tubing.
Q: What is the thread size on the FPT end?
A: The threaded end is 1/2" FPT (female pipe thread), which is a standard size that fits SS4 fountain outlets and other 1/2" MPT (male pipe thread) fittings.
