1-1/2" NPSH straight hose thread (1-1/2-11.5NPSH)
Where 1-1/2-11.5NPSH is used, its real dimensions, and how to connect it to other standards.
Used on: 1-1/2 inch US utility, transfer and appliance hose couplings.
1-1/2 inch NPSH is a straight (parallel) hose thread, 11.5 TPI on a 1.878 inch (47.7 mm) outside diameter. Like all NPSH it seals on a gasket in the coupling, not on the thread, so it needs a matching straight female coupling and will not seal into a tapered NPT pipe port of the same size without an adapter.
Quick-connect click fittings from Hozelock, Gardena and Karcher are proprietary and do not interchange. They all sit on top of a standard thread underneath, so the reliable way to move between brands is to adapt at the threaded tap or hose-end fitting, then use each brand's own connector above it.
