British Standard Pipe Parallel (BSPP)

BSP parallel threads commonly seal via a 30˚ chamfer on the male thread to a 30˚ recessed cone on the female thread (swivel only) If it is a port application, an O-ring and washer or a bonded washer are needed to achieve a proper seal for parallel threads.

British Standard Pipe Taper (BSPT)

BSPT is similar to British Parallel Thread except it uses a Taper style thread whereby the seal is made via metal to metal wedging. This section includes options to convert BSPT threads to more common imperial thread forms and tube connections.
