How to join M22 x 1.5 (15 mm) and 3/8-18 NPT, and what stops it leaking.

End B

Adapter neededM22 to 3/8 NPT pressure-washer adapter

Not a direct fit. Joining M22 x 1.5 pressure-washer, 15 mm bore to 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Taper) needs a M22 to 3/8 NPT pressure-washer adapter.

The adapter to buy

US pressure-washer pumps often carry 3/8 NPT ports, so an M22-to-3/8-NPT adapter joins a metric M22 lance or hose to the pump. The NPT end seals on the tapered thread with PTFE tape; the M22 end seals on its O-ring.

Tape only the NPT end. The M22 O-ring end must stay clean or it will leak despite the tape.
