🔍 Key Concepts

• Thread engagement – how many threads on the pipe should actually be inside the tapped hole for a proper mechanical fit and seal • Difference between tightening until fully seized vs. leaving a small number of threads visible for adjustment or sealing compound • The purpose of tapered pipe threads (such as NPT) in creating a seal without over‑stressing the fitting

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens if you keep turning the pipe until it absolutely cannot move anymore. Is that usually recommended for threaded pipe and fittings? Why or why not? • Visualize a properly installed piece of threaded pipe in a fitting. How many threads do you typically still see outside the fitting when it is snug and leak‑tight? • Consider what would happen to the fitting or the threads if you tried to bury every single thread inside the tapped hole.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how many threads are normally left visible on properly tightened pipe connections in standard practice or illustrations from your study materials • Check whether complete coverage of all threads is actually recommended, or if that might risk cracking or stripping the fitting • Confirm that the correct answer reflects a secure mechanical joint and good seal without over‑tightening or bottoming out the pipe
