A 3/8 NPT fitting refers to a type of threaded pipe fitting that conforms to the National Pipe Taper (NPT) standards. The "3/8" denotes the nominal pipe size, indicating that the fitting is designed for pipes with an outer diameter corresponding to 3/8 inch. NPT fittings have a tapered thread profile, which helps create a seal when tightened, commonly used in plumbing and pneumatic systems to connect pipes and hoses securely.
