Answer / ramesh sobhani

There is no difference in constructional dimensions and the
acceptable diameters in both the case. the difference is
only for fixing to the equipment. If the equipment is
having Npt thread then we have to use NPT glands and if the
equipment having blank holes then have to use M20X1.5
glands with check Nuts. whereas npt glands are conical
thread and are fixed directly on equipment No check nut is
required BRACO

Answer / ashok bojja

1/2" NPT and M20x1.5 Both are different thread standard,
NPT (Nominal Pitch Thread) is British standard and the
other one is Metric standard. But here for cable gland
1/2"NPT the fixing thread will be in conical shape and
M20x1.5 (20 mm Dia. with 1.5 mm pitch) flat shape.
