O. K. I know what BSP fittings are. What are BSPP fittings? Thanks in advance. J.

I've run into some Japanese engines with tapered pipe thread fittings with one additional thread/in than NPT ones. 1/8-28 for example. After some investigation, I found that JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) pipe thread specs are essentially the same as BSP specs. And I've never run across "metric" tapered pipe threads. So I wonder if BSP specs are the defacto metric pipe threads. That might explain why they're used on a Swedish machine.

Google bsp pipe fittings. several companies offer a variety of items. BSPP = British Standard Pipe Paralle (straight thread, no taper,
designed to be used/sealed with a gasket.
Some items I have my "great" local machine shop make for me to plumb some extream pump to piping combinations.
Man, i just reread this my speling is teriable today. good luxk on your searce, jackie

Whadda coinkydink.

We're flailing around with that issue at work. All the hydraulics on our Swedish-built packing line use BSPT fittings. It's close to NPT, close enough that a 1/2 NPT male fitting will screw into a BSPT female, but not close enough to seal up. And there's no way a male BSPT will thread into a female NPT. Been there, tried that.

We need a replacement flow control with 1/2 BSPT female ends on it, and our hydraulic supplier doesn't think we know what we are talking about and insists that it's 1/2" NPT. We finally got our general pipe and valve vendor down here to put the ol' Mark I eyeball on it, and surprise, surprise "That's not NPT..."

Um, Duh?

Now he's searching for a source.

We usually use BSP & BSPT here in the UK. BSP for the parralel stuff, BSPT for tapered.
Think the terms have got somewhat garbled crossing the pond.
No difference in pitch between the two, but the BSPT has a 1 in 16 taper on the diameter.
There is some info on the threads to be found on the link below.
Cheers, JV.

BSPP stands for British Standard Pipe Parallel. I just learned that 2 months ago. From a guy from europe.

Thanks. These are on equipment not made in the U-K. Now how much difference is there between them and BSP and who carries them? Thanks. J.

You will likely have to go to a hydraulic fitting place (not a hardware store) that sells hydraulic pumps, motors, and valves and hoses. you will have to pay cash if you dont have an account with them.
