1/2 inch.
Parallel (straight) threads, British Standard Pipe Parallel thread (BSPP). These are sometimes denoted by the letter G, for example G1/2″ means a parallel 1/2 inch BSP thread. Taper threads, British Standard Pipe Taper thread (BSPT).
What are G type threads?
BSP distinguishes between two types of threads. These are parallel threads (BSPP), which have a constant diameter, which are known a G threads, and taper threads (BSPT), whose diameter increases or decreases along the length of the thread, known as R threads.
What is G thread size?

| G 3/4 | 26.441 | 24.117 |
| G 1 | 33.249 | 30.291 |

Is G thread same as NPT?
Eyeballing the Difference Between NPT and G Connections
When placed side by side, the difference between the two connection types is clear. The NPT thread is slightly tapered, while the G connection is straight. Another obvious visual: The G connector ends with a small protrusion (nipple), used to center the gasket.
What is G1 2 thread in MM?
Whitworth Parallel Pipe Thread DIN ISO 228 (DIN 259) BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel)
| Nominal Diameter | Major Diameter Inch | Major Diameter mm |
|---|---|---|
| G 1/2″ | 0.825 | 20.955 |
| G 5/8″ | 0.902 | 22.911 |
| G 3/4″ | 1.041 | 26.441 |
| G 7/8″ | 1.189 | 30.201 |
What is G1 thread?
BSPT (R/Rp)
| Male thread size (inch) | Female thread size (inch) | Major diameter (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| R 1/2 | Rp 1/2 | 20,955 |
| R 3/4 | Rp 3/4 | 26,441 |
| R 1 | Rp 1 | 33,249 |
| G 2 | Rp 2 | 59,614 |
Are NPT and G threads compatible?
The G (BSP / BSPP) standard is used in Europe and around the world. Although the threads look incredibly similar, they are not compatible. The NPT (US Standard) thread is tapered with a 60 deg thread pitch and designed to seal when the threads compress together, with pipe tape to fill in any minor leak paths.
What size is G1 2 thread?
1/2 inch
Parallel (straight) threads, British Standard Pipe Parallel thread (BSPP). These are sometimes denoted by the letter G, for example G1/2″ means a parallel 1/2 inch BSP thread.
Is G the same as BSPP?
The two types of thread are the same parallel straight. BSPP is the British Standard Pipe Parallel thread and it is also denoted by the letter G (ISO standard). Therefore, BSPP is the same as G.
Is 1 2 BSP the same as 15mm?
Whilst most 15mm compression fittings are 1/2″ bsp, (some earlier ones had finer threads) the same cannot be said for 10mm and 8mm.
Can you screw NPT into BSP?
NPT/NPS and BSP threads are not compatible due to the differences in their thread forms, and not just the fact that most sizes have a different pitch.
How do I know what type of thread I have?
Measure the thread diameter with your caliper.
- For male threads, measure the Outside Diameter (O.D). For female threads, measure the Inside Diameter (I.D).
- Tapered: measure the 4th and 5th thread.
- Parallel: measure any full thread corridor.
Is NPT the same as BSP?
NPT and BSP threads are not interchangeable due to the differences in thread forms. NPT threads are pointed in the peaks and valleys, where BSPs are rounded. Most notably, the NPT thread angle is 60 degrees versus the BSP 55-degree angle.
How do I know my BSP thread size?
To find the thread size:
- 1) Measure the O.D (outer diameter) of the BSP thread.
- 2) Take the O.D measurement (in inches) and subtract 1/4 inch (. 25”).
- 1) Multiply 3.5 by 4 to get 14. This is the number of threads per inch.
- 2) Combine the thread size with the number of threads per inch and refer to.
What RC1 8 thread?
Tapered Pipe Thread Plug Gauge (RC1/8-28P)
A tapered screw gauge used for inspection of screws (R, Rc, Rp) primarily for mechanical connections that require sealing, newly established by JIS after introduction of the ISO gauge standard.
How can I tell what NPT threads I have?
To determine the NPT size, with a caliper, measure the diameter of the 2nd or 3rd thread on your pipe, fitting or valve as shown below. Find the caliper measurement in the chart and cross reference the nominal NPT pipe size. Don’t get confused, the actual measurement is not the same as the NPT pipe size.
What is a 1/4 NPT thread?
NPT fittings are listed by the “standard” inner diameter (I.D.) of the fitting. (We put “standard” in quotes because the I.D. of the fitting will vary, depending on the manufacturer.) The outer diameter (O.D.) of the threads is usually about 1/4 (0.250) in.
What is NPT thread size?
NPT is defined by ANSI/ASME standard B1. 20.1. The taper rate for all NPT threads is 1 inch of diameter in 16 inches of length ( 3⁄4 inch per foot or 62.5 millimeters per meter) measured by the change of diameter (of the pipe thread) over distance of thread.
Is ISO parallel thread the same as BSPP?
ISO metric machine threads should be used instead of pipe threads for mechanical fastenings such as bolts and nuts. BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads, using the Whitworth thread form, have been adopted as the ISO standard for pipe threads, and will hereafter be called out as ISO and not as ESP.
What is the difference between metric and NPT thread?
The Main difference on this vs NPT and Metric is that the depth of the thread is smaller but has a larger flank angle, which makes it have a wider pitch along with a straight thread. These will have a 1/16 taper to the threads. This allows the flanks of the threads to seal together when torqued.
What is G1 4 fitting?
G1/4 is a straight thread (no tapering). This type does NOT seal in the threads, which is why you ALWAYS see G1/4 barbs with an o-ring. The o-ring provides the seal between the barb and threading. This thread type is easier to use because it provides a much more consistent seal when compared to NPT.
