FAQs

What is the correct way to seal the threads?

Use thread sealant tape or paste designed for the specific fluid and pressure of your system. Wrap the tape in the direction of the thread to prevent it from unraveling during installation.

What is the difference between BSP and other thread types?

BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads have a specific pitch and angle. Make sure you are using the correct thread type for your application. BSP threads are not compatible with NPT (National Pipe Thread) fittings.

Can this fitting be used with water?

Yes, it can be used with water, but ensure the thread sealant is rated for water applications and the pressure is within the fitting's limits.

How do I measure the BSP thread size?

BSP thread sizes refer to the internal diameter, not the outer diameter. Use a thread gauge or consult a BSP thread chart for accurate measurement.

What is the maximum pressure rating for this fitting?

Pressure ratings depend on the specific application and are not provided in the product information. Refer to the manufacturer's specifications for pressure limits.

How do I prevent corrosion?

Ensure the fitting is not exposed to corrosive materials and regularly inspect it for any signs of damage or rust. Apply a protective coating if necessary.

Troubleshooting

The fitting is leaking.

Check the threads for damage, re-apply thread sealant, and ensure the fitting is properly tightened. Replace if necessary.

The fitting is difficult to install.

Make sure the threads are clean and free of debris. Use the correct size wrench and apply consistent pressure while tightening.

Corrosion is present.

Clean the fitting with a wire brush or abrasive pad. If corrosion is extensive, consider replacing the fitting.

  • Male to female threading provides compatibility with various components.
  • Precision machining guarantees a secure and leak-free connection.
  • The BSP thread size is commonly used, making it widely applicable.

Cons

  • The 1/8" BSP thread size may not be compatible with all systems.
  • Steel construction may be susceptible to damage if over-torqued.
  • Requires proper sealing techniques to prevent leaks.
  • The fitting's size may be too small for some high-flow applications.
  • Requires knowledge of BSP thread standards for proper use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Thread Preparation: Ensure both male and female threads are clean and free from debris. Apply thread sealant tape or paste suitable for the application to the male threads.
  2. Installation: Carefully thread the male end of the fitting into the female port. Tighten the fitting using a wrench, ensuring a snug but not over-tightened fit. Over-tightening can damage the threads.
  3. Compatibility: This fitting is compatible with systems using 1/8" BSP threaded connections. Always verify compatibility with your specific system's pressure and fluid requirements.
  4. Care: Regularly inspect the fitting for leaks or signs of corrosion. If leaks are detected, check the threads and replace the sealant if necessary. Store the fitting in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
