BSP-British Standard Pipe Threads for Non-Pressure-tight Joints BS 2779:1973 are Withworth from parallel fastening threads that are generally used for fastening purpose such as the mechanical assembly of component parts of fittings, cocks and valves. They are not suitable where pressure-tight Joints are made on the threads.
For Pressure-tight Joints
