BSP Fittings
Fitting Type:BSP
British Standard Pipe
Applicable Standard:
BS 21 - Taper
BS 2779 - Straight
Description
This is a very common connection in Europe. See variations below.
Stocked in 316 Stainless Steel material.
Variations
There are two types of BSP connections, a BSP Taper and a BSP Parallel. The
taper version is very much like the NPT fitting where the sealing surface
(for pressure) is the threads. The Parallel type has several variations. First a
flat face, an internal cone, and yet another with an external cone. Threads are
straight threads which do not seal; the sealing surface is an o'ring, dowty
seal, some other form of gasket, or on the cone if it is the cone variation.
Care must be taken to get the right one.
Sizes available
BSPs start at 1/8" and go very large, over many inches. We stock up to 3/4". Be
careful and not confuse the stated size with the actual measurement of the
threads. For example a 1/2" actually has an OD (outside dimension) of 21mm. We
make sizes up to 2".
Connections to BSPs available at PressureLinks
We stock BSP in the coned versions, both internal and external. We can
manufacture the tapered version if needed. We stock BSP to NPT, BSP to BSP, BSP
to Medium Pressure, BSP to High Pressure, BSP to JIC, and BSP to Type M.
