Fitting guide for BSP threads
as detailed in our ebay listings
taper male to taper female YES
taper male to parallel female YES
parallel male to parallel female YES
parallel male to taper female often ok with plastic fittings but generally not advised as
a tapered female is best fitted with a tapered male fitting
use PTFE tape as first choice do not use a solvent based sealer
on plastic fittings. If you need to use a sealer use a silicone sealant specifically
for sealing such as fernox LS-X
do not over tighten as this can stress the fitting especially on tapered threads
This is a solvent weld adapter piece, made by us from PVC Pipe and INTO some makes of 36 mm waste pipe or into the 36 mm bush supplied. approx 65 mm long. NOT suitable for use with Tetrafow waste pipe. 32 mm true outside diameter one end, which fits INTO pressure pipe fittings. The other end is machined to approx 31.8 mm so that it fits INTO some makes of 36 mm waste pipe or the sleeve supplied. Bore sizes of 36 mm pipe may vary from make to make. If the adapter will not fit into your pipe use it with the bush supplied and connect up using a 36 mm fitting (available from our 36 mm waste pipe listing) . |
