Can you thread BSP into NPT?
NPT/NPS and BSP threads are not compatible due to the differences in their thread forms, and not just the fact that most sizes have a different pitch.
Are 1/2 NPT and BSP the same?
The difference between these two thread types can be seen in the number of threads per inch and the angle at which the threads themselves are cut. 1/2″NPT to 1/2″BSP. Both have 14 threads per inch so they match up quite well. The primary difference is in the pitch (angle of the thread) which is 60 to 55.
What is the difference between NPT & BSP threads?
With NPT, the peaks and valleys of the threads are flat. In BSP, they are rounded. Secondly, the NPT angle of the thread is 60 degrees and the BSP angle is 55 degrees.
Does NPT work with BSPT?
Are NPT/NPS threads compatible with BSPT? No, the thread forms are different and most have a different pitch.

What is BSP thread size?
What are BSP thread sizes?

Will BSP fit BSPT?
BSPT & BSPP Male and Female Fittings British Standard Pipe threads are similar in function to NPT threads, but are generally not interchangeable. BSPT male threads seal against threads of fixed BSPT female.
Are BSP and BSPT interchangeable?
Is BSP thread tapered?
In Great Britain BSP British Standard Pipe threads are commonly used. These are either parallel (BSPP) which normally seal on a washer or ‘O’ ring seal, or tapered (BSPT) which taper along their length and normally seal by two mating threads.
