NO !!!!!!

AN is American Navy

-4 would be 7/16" UNC
-6 would be 9/16" UNC
-8 would be 3/4" UNC

check out some catalogues, and you can soon pick up either from part numbers, or the fittings themselves what is what.

NPT is the US tapered threads. ie, the threads taper and this is their sealing method.

An = American National thread

Npt = National pipe thread

Nptt = Tapered Npt

Bsp = British pipe thread

Bspt = Tapered BSP

BSP and NPT are near enough the same, they are only one pitch out per inch.

NA is just another way of naming the UNC, UNF threads!

info was taken from the Earls catalogue.

AN threads are NOT NPT Threads.

NPT for a given size, are a lot finer pitched, and any I have seen, have all been tapered, which is about 30 minutes ago, as I have 4 x -10 to 1/2" NPT adaptors for an oil cooler/filter installation in my garage.

NPT is available in parallel or taper thread, as is BSP.

The AN threads are a parallel thread not a taper. They seal on the angled part on the end of the fitting not on the thread.

Forget that, I am talking crap. NPT is always taper, but BSP is can be either.
