Straight fittings with BSPT threads 

Straight fittings with BSPT tapered external threads. What are BSPT tapered fittings ? Fittings BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) are special hydraulic connectors that use a tapered pipe thread, complying with the British standard. This type of thread is characterized by its tapered shape, which means that the thread diameter gradually decreases toward the end of the connector. Thanks to this, the connection is self-sealing, because the threads wedge together during tightening, creating tightness without the need for additional seals, such as Teflon tapes or gaskets. Fittings with a tapered BSPT thread are usually made of high-quality steel, which guarantees their resistance to high pressures and resistance to corrosion and harsh working conditions. A 55-degree tapered thread (according to the ISO 7-1 standard) ensures connection reliability and the possibility of using them in systems where tightness under high pressure is required. Among the key features of these fittings, it is worth mentioning: the tapered shape of the thread providing tightness without additional sealants, resistance to high pressures, which makes them an ideal choice for hydraulic applications, and a wide range of applications, including industrial and service installations. BSPT tapered fittings are widely used in various types of hydraulic and pneumatic installations. They are often used in industries such as: power hydraulics, where a durable and tight connection of hydraulic hoses is required, the petrochemical industry, where resistance to high temperatures and aggressive media is necessary, the construction and machinery industry, in applications requiring resistance to vibrations and dynamic loads, and water and sewage installations, thanks to their resistance to pressure in systems transporting fluids.
