Key specifications

Choosing the right option

The thread size is the same on both ends. BSP threads do not mate with NPT or metric threads, so confirm the thread on every mating part before you order. The hex lets you use a spanner and not a pipe wrench. The 1/8" size is available only in the stainless range.
