A little advice please

[Brandon_Tyler]

Hey all,

I ve got a question for you pro modders. I want to build a custom Reservoir for my up coming project. I'm stuck at the point of needed to know what type of 3/8ths or 1/2" NPT tap I need. I plan on building 1/4" acrylic and using IPS Weld-On #3 to complete all seam work.

Thanks for any advice or comments

That first link isn't even NPT, so that's definitely not what you need. That second kit should do you fine, but you could save money by only buying the tap(s) you need.

Go with BSPP threads and you will be a much more happy camper. Especially if you are working with acrylic.

Until he goes to Home Depot and can't find a single fitting with those threads.
