SAE 8 and NPT refer to two different types of thread standards used in fittings. SAE 8 is a designation within the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) system, typically referring to a specific size and type of straight thread used in hydraulic systems. NPT, or National Pipe Taper, is a U.S. standard for tapered threads used to seal pipes and fittings, where the threads tighten and create a seal as they are screwed together.
