MTM M22 15mm x 3/8" QC Stainless Plug

MTM Hydro Adaptors are developed to convert one plug or coupler into another style of plug or coupler. This particular adaptor has an M22 Twist Coupler (Black side) with 14mm stem converted into a standard 3/8" QC Plated Steel Plug. It can be found on Spray Gun inlets, Pump outlets, or even in conjunction with other adaptors for a more complex change of fittings.

All MTM Stainless Plugs are National Pipe Thread (NPT) which means they have a tapered Male or Female thread (depending upon the model). NPT is mainly used in the Western Hemisphere and was developed on the concept of interference by the third thread. When installing NPT fittings to another NPT thread we recommend that you use 4-5 wraps of Teflon tape wound clockwise or 2-3 drops of Loctite thread sealant.

British Standard Pipe Thread (BSP) is found in the European market and has a different thread pitch than NPT. BSP is also considered a 'straight thread' which means it has no taper at the end. When installing NPT on BSP or vice versa, use 6-7 wraps of Teflon or 2-3 drops of Loctite and tighten accordingly. When tightening opposing thread styles (BSP and NPT) you will experience more interference sooner and you will not be able to tighten the fitting as far as like-threads. You will still have a tight seal, just make sure to use the recommended amount of Teflon Tape or Loctite.
