Synopsis:

Hydraulic Plumbing systems use different ways of sealing depending on the geographical region, size of the pressure system and the environment. There are regional differences in sealing types as well as industry preferences. For example, most European Espresso Machines and Coffee Makers use BSPP adapters while most plumbing installations in North America use NPT fittings.

Use the charts below to measure and identify your fittings.

BSPT (British Standard Pipe Thread) is similar to NPT except there are important differences. The angle across the flanks of threads (if you sliced the fitting in half long-ways and measured the angle from root to crest to root) is 55 degrees instead of 60 degrees as it is for NPT.

British Standard Pipe Parallel thread
 
Parallel (straight) threads, British Standard Pipe Parallel thread (BSPP; originally also known as British Standard Pipe Fitting thread/BSPF and British Standard Pipe Mechanical thread/BSPM), which have a constant diameter; denoted by the letter G.

NPT stands for National Pipe Tapered threads, also known as ANSI/ASME B1. 20.1 pipe threads. It is a U.S. standard for measuring tapered threads on threaded pipes and fittings. Threaded pipes can give an effective seal for pipes using hydraulic fluids.
