M Mr shiney Member Messages 1,241 Mar 30, 2015 #1 dumb question..... Why is 1/8 bsp, 1/8 when it's nowhere near that measurement?

T Tengtooltom Member Messages 207 Mar 31, 2015 #7 No help but: BSP - British Standard Pipe NPT - National Pipe Thread
M Mr shiney Member Messages 1,241 Mar 31, 2015 #8 Makes it a bit difficult to identify the thread! I only worked it out because of the 28TPI.
