Is MIP and NPT the same thing?

[nakman]

If I have a 1/2" MIP (male iron pipe) fitting, do I use a 1/2" NPT (National pipe thread) tap? Or is there a IP tap I need to get?

It should be the same. JIS is close but a hair different. BSP is totatally different.

this is the captian speaking,

in case of water crossing, your sliders may also be used a flotation device...

You better fill the front and rear bumpers on that NewPig for floation
