Understanding BSP Fittings
BSP fittings (British Standard Pipe fittings) are commonly used in plumbing systems to create secure connections between pipes. There are two types of BSP threads: BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) and BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel). BSPT threads are tapered and create a tight seal when screwed together, making them ideal for applications where leak prevention is critical. BSPP threads are parallel and are typically used in situations where a mechanical seal is required, such as with an O-ring.
British straight pipe threads are widely used in various industries, including water treatment, oil and gas, and food processing, due to their versatility and compatibility with other components like flanges, camlocks, and tube clamps. The Grade 316 stainless steel in our fittings ensures they can withstand harsh environments, offering long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance.
Types of BSP Threaded Fittings
BSPT (Tapered) Fittings
BSPT fittings feature tapered threads that tighten as they are screwed together, creating a pressure-tight seal. This makes them ideal for high-pressure applications where leak prevention is essential. Commonly used in gas and fluid transfer systems, these BSP fittings are reliable and easy to install, providing a secure connection that withstands the test of time.
BSPP (Parallel) Fittings
BSPP fittings have parallel threads and are typically used with a sealing washer or O-ring to create a secure connection. They are ideal for applications where disassembly and reassembly are frequent, as they allow for easy maintenance without compromising the integrity of the connection. Parallel BSP fittingsare common in the automotive, manufacturing, and food processing industries.
