I am looking to purchase a 1'' RTO drop pipe pitless adapter

I am looking to purchase an RTO drop pipe pitless adapter. What are the major problems with these units? I do not want an adapter that does not separate; that would be too much work to replace anything within the line/pump/other adapters

We need to pull a submersible pump. we pulled previous ones which we threadded a rod into the top of tube and pull. The one we have has a pvc tube with a T brace at the top of the casing and before the...

I am not in this field, but when I saw it done, there was a cable that attached to that arm. Maybe the cable fell into the casing. See if there is anything attached. The cable is then pulled/jerked hard upward to release the arm.

Cannot find power adapter for mms171w philips system. Needs AC/AC adapter with 10v ac at 1.8 amps output. Cannot find aftermarket counterpart either. Help. Lost adapter while moving.

Hi there,
What does the other end of the adapter look like?
Is it a conventional circular one or is it a special port like it's thin square like or USB like maybe?
If it's conventional any 10v 1.8amp or 2 amp output should do and a lot of them are available in e-bay or if there's a Best Buy, Staples, Etc near you can just drop a visit purchase one and it should work like a charm.
However if it's not a conventional adapter you may have to contact philips and purchase one that is compatible from them.
Hope this shed some light on your problem!

What size npt thread is the adaptor

Common American National Standard Pipe Taper Threads
  • NPT - National Pipe Thread Taper
  • FPT - female (internal) National Pipe Taper threads
  • MPT - male (external) National Pipe Taper threads
  • NPTF - Dryseal American National Standard Taper Pipe Thread (ANSI B1.20.3)
For NPT threads a sealant compound or Teflon tape must be used for a leak-free seal. For NPTF no sealant is needed for a sealing.
Characteristics of NPT (also known as ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 Pipe Threads, General Purpose):
  • tapered thread 1o 47'
  • truncation of roots and crests are flat
  • 60o thread angle
  • pitch is measured in threads per inch
Note! Pipe sizes do not refer to any physical dimensions. The outside diameter of a pipe or fitting must be measured and compared to a table for size identification. A 3/4" NPT pipe thread has an outside diameter - OD - of 1.050 inches.
Each thread size has a defined number of threads per inch - TPI, or pitch. The 3/4" NPT pipe thread has 14 threads per inch. Both the TPI and OD of the thread are required for positive identification of thread size because more than one size have the same TPI.

NPT threads are not interchangeable with NPS - National Pipe Straight - threads.
NPT threads may look similar to ISO 7/1 threads. However, ISO and NPT threads should not be mixed. ISO threads have 55o taper angle versus 60o for NPT. The NPT root and crest configurations are also different from ISO. For ISO threads pitch is usually measured in millimeters (may be expressed in Inch). The pitch are different.
