I'm working on my plumbing on a new tank and I'm trying to do a lot in a small area. I have purchased the newly released 1" flow sensor for Hydros which coincidentally looks identical to the Apex version except rebranded and with a different plug. Both units come with unions to attach them to 1" plumbing. My issue is I am already attaching this to a union so there is zero need to attach a union to a union. My plan was to just direct thread the flow sensor into my existing 1" union but guess my surprise when I got it and tried to do this and discovered that the threads on the sensor are straight and not NPT. The sensor will thread onto the supplied unions perfectly but no other standard NPT unions. I need to keep this section as short as possible so I am looking for a way to make this work. I can not just sub in the supplied unions as where I want to attach it is a proprietary union that belongs to another piece of equipment.
Long and short of all that is anyone aware of plumbing parts that are just straight normal thread and not tapered pipe thread?
