Product description
The Steel NPTF Female × NPSM Female Swivel 90° Elbow is a 90° elbow, in forged carbon steel, trivalent zinc plated. Its ends are NPTF (Dryseal) female and NPSM female swivel. NPTF and NPSM pipe adapters join pipe-threaded ports and swivel ends on hydraulic, pneumatic and lubrication lines.
Construction
- Body: 90° elbow
- End 1: NPTF (Dryseal) female
- End 2: NPSM female swivel
- Material: forged carbon steel, trivalent zinc plated
Ends and sealing
- NPTF (Dryseal): Dryseal taper pipe thread, cut so the crests and roots close up as the joint is tightened, so it seals on the thread; ASME B1.20.3.
- NPSM: straight pipe thread that does not seal on the thread; a swivel seals on its 30° seat; ASME B1.20.1.
Sizes
20 part numbers, 1/8" to 2". The Sizes & Part Numbers tab lists the size on each end and dimensions in millimetres for every one.
- End 1: NPTF (Dryseal), 1/8" to 2" (1/8-27 to 2-11.5)

Failure analysis
Using sealant on hydraulic threads: which joints want it, and which are ruined by it
Tape on a tapered thread is correct. Tape on a cone, a flat face or an O-ring boss is how a good joint is made to leak — and how debris gets into the system.

Specification & standards
Stopping an NPT leak: tape, sealant, or neither
A tapered thread seals on the thread itself, which is why it needs help. Every other connector on the machine seals somewhere else, which is why putting tape on it makes the leak worse.

NPT, NPSM and SAE hose fittings: taper, swivel, flare and O-ring boss
Five American hose-end families that get confused because they share inch sizes. Which seals on the thread, which on a cone, which on an O-ring — and how to tell NPT from NPSM before it leaks.
