What is a BSP adapter?

Use these fittings to adapt your plumbing to female BSP (British Standard Pipe) ports. All of these adapters have male threads at each end. The BSP threads are all BSPP (parallel).

Can you fit NPT to BSP?

NPT and BSP threads are generally not compatible due to the differences in their thread forms. NPT and BSP thread pitches (threads per inch, TPI) are listed below. You can use 1/2″ and 3/4″ NPT and BSP fittings together, but all others will be incompatible and will therefore leak.

How is BSP fitting measured?

How to Measure Your BSP Fittings

1. Measure the outer diameter (OD) of the thread (in inches)
2. Then subtract 25% from this (¼ inch)
3. You’ll then need to make sure it is a BSP fitting so by counting the threads on your coupling, perhaps only just over ¼”, you can just multiply this by four to find the threads per inch.

How do you measure a coupling?

Calculating The Inside Diameter With A Digital Caliper

1. Place the inside tips of the caliper on the inside of the bowl (coupling)
2. Expand the tips of the caliper until they’re fully extended to the bowl size.
3. This will give you the correct size of the bowl needed.
4. 1.75 is equivalent to a 1 3/4 size bowl.

What is a BSP connection?

British Standard Pipe (BSP) is a set of technical standards for screw threads that has been adopted internationally for interconnecting and sealing pipes and fittings by mating an external (male) thread with an internal (female) thread.

How do you measure 1/4 inch BSP?

The easiest way is to count the thread crests over a shorter length, say 1/4″, and simply multiply it by 4. For example, if you count 3.5 thread crests over 1/4″: 3.5 x 4 = 14 threads per inch. Take this measurement and cross-reference it to your thread size in the chart below.

What is a 1/2 inch NPT fitting?

This coupling pipe fitting is made of brass and has 1/2″ female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connections. This coupling fitting connects two pipes going in the same direction with the same diameter to extend a straight run. NPT Thread size is NOT determined by its outside thread diameter in inches.

What is BSP plumbing?

BSP is the abbreviation for British Standard Pipe. The thread, as defined by the ISO 228 standard, uses Whitworth standard threads, and is among a number of technical standards for screw threads that has been adopted internationally for interconnecting and sealing pipes and fittings.
