Question

drag each statement to the correct box.
the length of a standard npt thread varies depending on the conduit size.
thread length that is too long will bottom out in the fitting, preventing solid connection between conduit and fitting.
national pipe taper, or npt, threads are used on conduit.
thread length that is too short will not fill the fitting properly and results in the overall conduit length being too short.
image of two toolboxes labeled true and false, with a statement in the false toolbox: npt threads allow conduit to engage easily with couplings or fittings.
submit

Explanation:

• For "The length of a standard NPT thread varies depending on the conduit size.": NPT thread lengths do vary with conduit size, so this is true.
• For "Thread length that is too long will bottom out in the fitting, preventing solid connection between conduit and fitting.": A too - long thread can bottom out and hinder a solid connection, so this is true.
• For "National Pipe Taper, or NPT, threads are used on conduit.": NPT threads are indeed used on conduit, so this is true.
• For "Thread length that is too short will not fill the fitting properly and results in the overall conduit length being too short.": A too - short thread not filling the fitting properly does not result in the overall conduit length being too short. The overall conduit length is about the conduit itself, not the thread - fitting interaction affecting it. So this is false.
• For "NPT threads allow conduit to engage easily with couplings or fittings.": NPT threads are designed to facilitate easy engagement of conduit with couplings or fittings, so this is true.

Answer:

TRUE box:

• The length of a standard NPT thread varies depending on the conduit size.
• Thread length that is too long will bottom out in the fitting, preventing solid connection between conduit and fitting.
• National Pipe Taper, or NPT, threads are used on conduit.
• NPT threads allow conduit to engage easily with couplings or fittings.

FALSE box:

• Thread length that is too short will not fill the fitting properly and results in the overall conduit length being too short.
