Mrs N is an unknown quantity at this point
1/8" NPT Port Diameter


In reference to "R77 C. Solenoid valves with a maximum 1/8 in. NPT port diameter"

NPT - stands for Nation Pipe Thread Taper correct? Which is 27 threads per inch. How do we measure the port diameter? Isn't port diameter different than say orifice size?

Is there a schematic that lays out the terminology?

What we are really looking for is to first follow the rule and second get the least resistance to make maximum use of the 60 psi. We have a variety of solenoids from past years and are doing our best to become experts, we seem stuck here for the moment.

Thank you!
