Also what is the more common size (cheaper taps) 1/4 bsp or 1/4 npt? Edited by Jimster on 31st Mar, 2008. On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

BSP is way more common than NPT as can be seen by the fact its easier to get a set of BSP taps and die's, also almost every building in the country will have a BSP thread in it but not likly to have an NPT thread.

All the stuff i work with is NPT, but i guess thats due to our fittings supplier being american.

I would say BSP is more common for getting hold of fittings over here, but the US tend to use a bit of both NPT and BSP.

Other way round Matt, tapered fittings are not used on hydraulics, parallel threads with cone seats are used on hydraulics. Taper threads are used on lower pressure stuff.

I know we used BSP for gas & oil fittings. So fueling might be the same. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

I've always been told never to use taper fittings on hydraulics, and that hydraulic fittings should always be sealed on a cone and seat and never the thread?
