Choosing the right option
Read the size as large x small: for example 1/2" x 1/4" has a 1/2" thread on one end and a 1/4" thread on the other. Both ends are male, so each side screws into a female port. If you need a male thread on one side and a female on the other, use a reducing bush. BSP threads do not mate with NPT or metric threads, so confirm the thread on every mating part before you order.
