Not sure how BSP differs from NPT.
I can very much assure you that the barbed section of the fittings have an inner diameter of 10.5mm (roughly 13/32")
The threaded section of the fittings have an inner diameter of just over 13mm (about 13.1mm or roughly 33/64")
Then again, I've also seen 1/2" barb to 3/8" BSP fittings with just 9mm ID on the barbs (3/8") and 11mm ID on the inner thread diameter (7/16").
I have yet to see any 3/8" BSP thread fitting have an inner diameter of the threaded section less than about 11mm.

Actually, Cathar just reminded me, Im using BSP as NPT is very hard to get (My tap is NPT I think). However Its only 1 thread per inch or somthing difference.
Cathar are you still going to use 1/2" to 3/8" for your smaller blocks?
