Putting the final touches on these natural Nylon components by adding a 1/2-14 NPT thread to the back of the part. Nylon is a great material for tough applications that require compressive strength, stiffness, abrasion resistance, and slightly elevated temperatures. This incredibly strong material has a compressive
