BSP Thread Size Chart

Measure the thread and read off the size. Female fittings are measured across the inside diameter, male fittings across the outside diameter of the thread.

Measuring tips

BSP sizes are named after the old pipe bore, not the thread itself — a 1/2" BSP thread measures about 21mm across, not 12.7mm. Measure with calipers across the crests of a male thread, or across the roots inside a female one. If a fitting sits between two sizes, send us a photograph and the measurement before ordering: parallel (BSPP) and tapered (BSPT) threads share these diameters but do not seal the same way.
