What is a BSPT fitting?

A BSPT fitting, or British Standard Pipe Thread fitting, is a type of threaded connector used in plumbing and fluid systems. It features a specific threading design conforming to British standards (ISO 7-1), known for its tapered shape. This tapering helps create a tight seal as the threads compress, reducing the risk of leaks and enhancing connection reliability. BSPT fittings are available in various sizes and configurations, making them versatile for joining pipes, valves, and other components. The standardized threading ensures compatibility and consistency, promoting efficient fluid transport and containment within the system.
