UNEF

Unified National Extra Fine

The extra-fine Unified series, common on instrumentation, aerospace, and AN/JIC-adjacent fittings where thin-wall parts need a shallow thread and a fine adjustment pitch.

Standard
ASME B1.1
Flank angle
60° included
Sealing
None inherent -- typically paired with an O-ring or AN-style flare, not a thread seal.

Thread profile

Pitch line60°Pitch (P)Flat crestFlat root

A 60° included flank angle with a flat-truncated crest and root -- the single fastest way to tell a Unified/American pipe thread from the other family by eye.

Cut straight: the pitch diameter is constant along the full thread length, with no taper.
