Stainless steel BSP threaded fittings

Fittings

Stainless steel
low-pressure BSP fittings

316 (CF8M) investment-cast 150lb threaded fittings to ISO 4144, from 1/8" to 4", with BSPP female and BSPT male threads.

A full range of 150lb BSP fittings

Midsteel stocks low-pressure stainless steel BSP fittings in 316 (CF8M), investment cast to ISO 4144 and rated at 150lb. Sizes run from 1/8" to 4", with 5" and 6" available on pipe nipples and sockets.

Female threads are BSPP (parallel) to ISO 228-1 and male threads are BSPT (taper) to ISO 7-1. That makes them the standard choice for threaded water, air, instrument and utility lines where corrosion resistance matters.

BSPP and BSPT threads

BSP threads come in two forms. BSPP (parallel) threads keep a constant diameter and seal on a washer, O-ring or gasket. BSPT (taper) threads tighten as they are screwed in and seal on the thread itself, usually with PTFE tape or a sealant. ISO 4144 fittings have parallel female threads and taper male threads, the combination used for most general threaded pipework.

BSP is not interchangeable with NPT, which has a different thread angle and pitch. If you are connecting to American-standard equipment, ask about our NPT forged fittings.

When to use 150lb BSP fittings

Cast 150lb fittings are designed for low-pressure service. For higher pressures, specify our forged 3000# and 6000# screwed fittings.

FAQs

BSP fitting questions

Can't find the answer? Our sales team can advise on grades, standards and lead times.

They are low-pressure fittings to ISO 4144, rated at 150lb. The allowable working pressure depends on temperature and size, so check against the standard for your conditions. For higher pressures, use forged fittings to ASME B16.11.
No. BSP and NPT threads have different thread angles and pitches and will not seal reliably together. We stock both BSPT and NPT forged fittings.
