Incidentally, National Pipe Thread (NPT) is tapered at 3/4" per foot or 1:16 so that the threads lock to give a seal (assisted by Teflon tape or pipe dope). 1/8 NPT has 27 threads per inch. We had an issue this past season with some Festo solenoids that had been anodized after threading so that the push fittings wouldn't thread in. We had to re-cut the threads with a 1/8 NPT tap.
