Just when you though you knew what you were doing with hose fittings, we began upgrading our parts to push lock- JIC and ORB fittings. The thing is, NPT just doesn't cut it for fuel systems. Also, we grew tired of doing sideways-reverse-back-bends to reach in and tighten 10s of hose clamps on each fitting. So we developed an answer.
All of our conversion parts, FPHEs, Pumps, Hot Sicks, etc. have female threads which need an adapter to plumb fuel hose. Some of our parts are still require NPT, fittings, but rest assured, we will be changing them to ORB.

NPT(National Pipe Thread) fittings are commonly available in hardware stores. They handle high pressure, but the threads require plumbers tape or pipe dope to make a tight seal and prevent liquid and air leaks. NPT fittings are difficult to remove and service than other style fittings. NPTF fittings, do not require seal
