Hello,
I am Brian Ferrell with GEMLUX-- the US and
Caribbean distributor for TruDesign products. This thread came across my inbox and I wanted to provide some insight on some of the questions posted above and see how we can further assist.
GEMLUX is the US and
Caribbean distributor for TruDesign products and we strongly believe that this is the future of all
marine plumbing systems.
In regards to NPT and NPS thread systems -- It is strongly advised to
NEVER mix thread types. NPS -> NPS and NPT -> NPT is the only CORRECT way to plumb. GEMLUX supplies fittings in both thread types because we also manufacture NPT thru hulls in
Stainless Steel, as this has been the industry standard for a long time.
However, ALL TruDesign products are NPS or BSP (British Standard Pipe, commonly used in the European markets) We have began to manufacture
stainless steel, NPS threaded thru hulls to pair with all of the TruDesign offerings.
TruDesign has a very thorough set of data
sheets for all of their products, which can be found here:
https://www.trudesign.nz/marine/questions These
sheets will explain thread sealing,
installation, recommended sealants for different applications and much much more.
And last-- on our website we have a section dedicated to all TruDesign components to help keep your NPS and NPT separated (
https://gemlux.com/collections/trude...omposite-parts) If you have any doubt, give us a call.
We believe that the TruDesign product is the future of
marine plumbing and you will notice some of the leading
boat manufacturers in the industry have began making that transition.
We are here to help with any questions, concerns, comments you may have. If you have any questions at all in regards to the plumbing system in your
boat, we're here to help. We have a very knowledgeable staff that can answer just about any question you have. Feel free to give us a call at 904-264-0173 or an
email at
sales@gemlux.com.
Best Regards,
Brian
