NOTE

Most fluid piping system sizes are measured by dash numbers. These are universally

used abbreviations for the size of the component expressed as the numerator of the

fraction with the denominator always being 16. For example, a -04 port is 4/16 or 1/4-inch.

Dash numbers are usually nominal (in name only) and are abbreviations that make

ordering of components easier.
