This adapter converts 1/2" male British Standard Pipe Tapered (BSPT)*, a common fitting used in fluid and gas systems in Europe and the United Kingdom, to 1/2" female National Pipe Thread, an accepted standard tapered thread in North American fluid and gas systems.
Being a tapered thread, the use of Yellow PTFE tape for gas applications is recommended for the best seal in propane and butane systems.
This adapter is required to convert any gas appliance designed for the United Kingdom and European markets (such as our GN Espace stoves) to United States ABYC standards.
* British Standard Pipe Parallel (BSPP) and British Standard Pipe Taper (BSPT) are different and are NOT interchangeable.
