NPSM (National Pipe Straight Mechanical) and NPT (National Pipe Tapered) are not directly compatible because they have different thread designs. NPSM has straight threads, primarily used for mechanical connections, while NPT has tapered threads, designed for sealing under pressure. To connect them, an adapter or sealing method, such as a gasket or O-ring, is typically required to ensure a leak-proof connection.
