YOU CANNOT MEASURE A BSP THREAD WITH RULER/TAPE MEASURE

If you have any questions regarding size issue please email and we will get back to you asap.

The threaded part(s) of plumbing fittings are made to a British Standard Pipe Thread size (BSP). BSP sizes don’t match up with what you would measure using a ruler, which can obviously cause some confusion. For example a 3/4″ BSP thread actually measures more like 1" with a ruler.
A list of 16 thread sizes are defined by the standards, ranging from 1⁄16″ to 6″. The size was originally based on the inner diameter measured in inches of a steel tube for which the thread was intended. This often causes confusion, as people think the size refers to the outside diameter of the male thread.
