National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) is a U.S. standard for tapered threads used on threaded pipes and fittings. In contrast to straight threads that are found on a bolt, a taper thread will pull tight and therefore make a fluid-tight seal.

The typical sizes you will see in medical oxygen filling are 1/4” and 1/2” NPT.

To determine what size you need, check out the table below.
