yea i know it's 3/8 pipe thread but i didn't know there were that many different types of pipe taps, fastenal has 14 choices for a 3/8 pipe tap.

fastenal list tapered, straight, dry sealing, and tapered plug as options in the drop down menus?Huh?

NPT is a tapered size.

3/8-18 NPT would be the right tap I believe
