What is BSP F Union?

What is BSP F Union?

Our Grade 316 BSP Screwed M & F Barrel Unions come with a standard British Standard Pipe thread extensively used across the globe for plumbing connections especially in Australia. All fittings are manufactured by investment cast process, toe nipples and barrel nipples are produced from welded pipe.

What does BSP mean in fittings?

British Standard Parallel Pipe
BSPP (British Standard Parallel Pipe) is most popular in the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. It is a parallel thread fitting that uses a bonded seal ring to do the sealing.

What is the difference between BSP and NPT?

Both NPT and BSP are pipe thread standards for screw threads used on pipes and pipe fittings to seal pipes. With NPT, the peaks and valleys of the threads are flat. In BSP, they are rounded. Secondly, the NPT angle of the thread is 60 degrees and the BSP angle is 55 degrees.

Will NPT work with BSP?

NPT/NPS and BSP threads are not compatible due to the differences in their thread forms, and not just the fact that most sizes have a different pitch. NPT and BSP thread pitches (threads per inch) are listed below.

Is BSP BSPP or BSPT?

What is the difference between BSP and BSPP? BSP stands for British Standard Pipe technical standards. BSP connection includes two types of threads, one is BSPP which can be straight or parallel; the other one is BSPT, which is tapered. The thread pitch and thread angle is the same 55 degree.

Is BSPP the same as BSP?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe technical standards. BSP connection includes two types of threads, one is BSPP which can be straight or parallel; the other one is BSPT, which is tapered. The thread pitch and thread angle is the same 55 degree. BSP is not the same as BSPP.

Are 1/2 BSP and NPT interchangeable?

NPT stands for National Pipe Taper and common in the USA and BSP stands for British Standard Pipe and are used widely around the world. You can use 1/2″ and 3/4″ NPT and BSP fittings together, but all others will be incompatible and will therefore leak.

Is BSP straight or tapered?

The British BSP connections include two types of threads, BSPP which are straight (or parallel) and BSPT which are tapered. The BSPT tapered male will mate with a BSPT tapered female (usually a port) and seals on the threads.

Can you connect BSPT to BSPP?

They always use a taper external thread, but can have either parallel or taper internal threads. This means a male BSPT (tapered) fitting will seal happily onto a female BSPP (parallel).
