RIDGID 12-R BSPT Pipe Threading Performance

RIDGID 12-R BSPT die heads produce British Standard Pipe Taper threads conforming to applicable ISO 7-1 and EN 10226 specifications. BSPT threads feature a 55-degree Whitworth thread profile with rounded crests and roots and a 1:16 taper.

Unlike National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads, which feature a 60-degree thread angle, BSPT threads utilize a different thread geometry and pitch configuration. Consequently, BSPT and NPT connections are not generally interchangeable.
