I've googling for over an hour. I can't seem to find a place in America that sells 1/4" bspp to 1/2" OD. Does anybody have any recommendations? Thanks.

I think you might have to do it with two fittings: 1/2" to 3/8" and then 3/8" to 1/4".

Eldon James makes that fitting. I've bought 'em from mcmaster-carr.
You may be having a problem with BSPP - try looking for just BSP. In the states at least, BSP seems to imply BSP(parallel) and only BSPT is written out. Bob |

Thanks for everyone's help. I only found bspt fittings on mcmaster. Screw it... I don't think 1/4 bspp to 1/2" OD will work too well anyways. We'll see though.. pH is reviewing the alphacool stuff from Cathar with 1/4" bspp to 1/2" OD.

Don't use those brass barbs with anodized aluminum wbs.

You can probably just use 1/4" NPT barbs instead of BSPP with a bit of sealant - assuming the block you're using is metal topped (NPT into BSP is likely to crack plastic tops).

Try searching mcmaster for part 53415K204 - and just add "BSPT" to the comments field. $5 for a bag of 10 (plus shipping). Note that they might call these BSPT but they're not tapered and will fit Innovatek (and other) blocks properly. I've never seen a "BSPT" fitting in the US that was tapered. Had thought that the "T" stood for "thread" not "taper" but could easily be wrong. Mis-spent a few years in my youth working on hydraulics systems, so I know a bit about threads and tapers, but not really much about BSP. |
