  • JG Speedfit to BSP - what options are there?

    From Chris Green@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 15 15:51:59 2025
    I need to make several JG Speedfit connections to 1/2" BSP male.
    This looks like what I need:-

    https://www.toolstation.com/jg-speedfit-straight-tap-connector/p13693

    ... but will this go onto the sort of male connector where one would
    normally use PTFE tape? I.e. it's not like a tap where one would
    probably use a rubber washer of some sort to make the seal. The above
    looks like it's expecting to have a washer inside it. Am I in the land
    of taper BSP as opposed to parallel BSP?

    Am I confused or is there a somewhat different type of fitting that I
    need?

    It does have a washer inside it. I fitted one this morning on the inlet to a
    WC cistern. I am now flushed with success for the first time in days.
