What is a BSP connector?

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.

How do you measure BSP fittings?

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.

Are all pressure washer connectors the same?

What size are pressure washer fittings?

Small (1/4″) hoses are the most common. They are designed for consumer-grade electric and small gas power washers with pressure ratings up to 3,200 psi. Mid-sized (5/16”) hoses are the least common. They are rated for prosumer-grade gas pressure washers that can withstand pressures between 2,700-3,600 psi.

Do Karcher attachments fit all models?

Are BSP and BSPT compatibility?

The BSPT (tapered) male will mate with a BSPT (tapered) female, or a BSPP (parallel) female. The BSPT connector is similar to, but not interchangeable with, the NPTF connector. The thread pitch is different in most cases, the thread angle is 55° instead of the 60° angle found on NPTF threads.

What sizes do BSP connectors come in?

Typical sizes and uses are : 1/4 Inch BSP – Compressed air connectors. 3/8 Inch BSP – Central heating oil line connectors, some European toilet cistern fill valves (not common in UK). 1/2 Inch BSP – Bathroom basin taps and kitchen sink taps, radiator connections, shower hoses, old outside tap outlets, toilet cistern fill / float valves.

What is the working pressure of a 3/8 BSPP adapter?

Description: 3/8″ BSPP (with 60 Degree Cone) x 3/8″ BSPP (with 60 Degree Cone) Equal Male/Male Adaptor to join two female threads together. Design Working Pressure: 380 Bar (5500 psi) – pressure listed should be used as a guide only and not as a standard or sopeciufication.

What is a 3/4 BSP?

3/4 Inch BSP – Bath taps, washing machine inlet hose connectors, modern outside tap outlets. 7/8 Inch BSP – Outlet thead on 3/4 inch outside tap (we have a brass tap connector for this size). 1 Inch BSP – Domestic heating boilers and hot water cylinders, urinal flush valves. 1-1/4 Inch BSP – Wash hand basin wastes (bathroom sink).

Can I use 3/8 NPT thread for BSPT?

IMO, you could use 3/8NPT in BSPT. Major thread diameter, 0.656″. 19 Threads per inch. As with all tapered threads, use some thread tape. It’ll work but I would get the correct adapter…
