any ideas? BSP -> NPT adapters?

[cbremer]

i'm going to be running my ARB off of my homebrew OBA, and need a fitting that adapts 1/8" BPT (British Pipe Thread, which is what the ARB solenoid uses) to 1/8" or 1/4" NPT, which my OBA uses. Of course, Home Depot doesn't know what BSP is

Probably the best bet would be a 1/8" female BSP to 1/8" female NPT adapter, then a 1/8" to 1/4" NPT coupling to fit it to my plumbing.

Anybody know where to get BSP -> NPT fittings?

thanks-
Chuck

My ARB solenoids are and always have been screwed into my adjustable pressure regulator's two 1/8" NPT ports. It screws in so easily and nicely that you'd never know that the threads are very slightly different.

Chuck... I second what Jeff said... your gonna want a regulator in line anyway and the solenoid fits nicely into the 1/8" port on a CH mini reg. No need to make it more difficult.

also, unless your getting stainless lines, run the blue stuff through some rubber hose to guard against wear.
