        Vdotmatrix....any results? If by mnpt you mean a standard pipe fitting of Male National Pipe Thread... what I sometimes do for a stubborn beast is to hold a large block of steel...like a hand sledge on the back side of the fitting and sharply rap the fitting on the near side. Working my around. This loosens the crud build up inside. If it's a normal MNPT fitting I doubt it's soldered in place. Even a copper threaded fitting would not normally be soldered. Let us know the outcome...
