G Threads
G Threads
(OP)
Hello
Im having a nightmare with some threaded connections which
keep leaking
The Female thread is G1/2"
The Male, I believe to be 1/2" BSP Parallel Male EO Fitting
I have tried a Dowty Washer to seal and the fitting has
a raised sealing face.
I am investigating a metal washer to seal
I think the washers require a flat sealing surface to seal upon but the Tee in aam connecting into has a cast surface with no machining
Questions
Can I use BSP(T) Male in this G1/2" Female and get a
reliable seal without a secondary seal ??
Where can I find some good info on G and R threads ?
TIA
