Hello,
I have a residential steam generator made by Saunacore. Unlike other brands, for some reason it is using straight pipe fittings.
The water supply and drain are both 1/2" straight, and I used appropriate fittings.
I'm scratching my head on the 3/4" steam. It's 3/4 flat thread, 14 threads per inch (measured it with a thread gauge). Stainless steel. I need to keep the entire length in brass/copper to avoid corrosion - no cast iron. It is not under pressure - the line is 3/4" throughout until the steam outlet in the shower. No valves are to be installed and no reduction in sizes. Steam condensation can drip back to the unit.
Any part in this line needs to handle 100 Celsius for obvious reasons
I am in Canada, but a helpful person on Reddit suggesting it might be BSPP and I might need a 3/4" BSPP Female to 3/4" NPT Male adapter, then I could screw on a 3/4" FNPT to sweat adapter and off I go. Only place I've found that is McMaster Carr in the USA which would take a few days to get.
Would there be any chains in Canada that would sell to homeowners or is there something else I could do?
