1" bulkhead

[bluc]

Anyone know where to get a 1" bspp nut with an oring groove and a alcohol proof oring to suit. For a boiler bulkhead. Seen some bspt ones but no bspp..

I'm not sure if they have it or not, and they're a bit of a hike from you, but you could try calling prochem on Brisbane northside.

Thanks fellas will check them out :handgestures-thumbupleft:

What's it for? Did you mean a block head?

[bluc]

No a bulkhead.Weldless bulkhead to be exact. For passing a pipe through a stainless wall for a drain. Drill a hole insert threaded pipe put a nut with oring either side than attach dip tube/ball valve :handgestures-thumbupleft:

As far as i am aware they don't make bspt bulk head fittings as it it a physical imposibility, the thread needs to be parrallel so they fit through the hole.
Unless they put a bspt thread on either end of a parrallel thread.

I dont know all the nuts on ebay are bspt. Found some on alibaba ordered 6. Fingers crossed.. the threaded pipe I bought is bspp. I have seen tapered nipples..

[bluc]

Tapeted nipples sounds kinky :D

[scythe]

Never seen a nut with a tapered thread, would run the risk of binding on the thread before it secured what ever it was trying to.

"Usually" male pipe is tapered and female fittings are parrallel.
Its just easier to manufacture that way.
Of course you can get both parrallel amd tapered fittings and pipe, it just depends on what you as the customer want.

Thanks for the info. I have no idea when it comes to threads etc. The nuts were listed as bspt so i didnt buy..

Having trouble working out what o'rings to get. Measuring up how do I work out thickness. i.d and o.d are simple.

Have a snoop at thru skin or thru deck stainless fittings ,they can be trimmed down and use silicone seals cut from sheet .cheers hillzabilly ;-)

[bluc]

I have already bought the other stuff just need o'rings.. :-B

Can you take it into a bearing supplier like statewide bearings and ask them for a silicone seal?

I used them for a specialised oil tank seal on a motorcycle, they were fantastic :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Pretty sure they can organise custom made seals for anything

[bluc]

Ahh bearing supplies thanks doubleuj :handgestures-thumbupleft:

What's the exact size and thickness ya want :think:
I have a mate in that industry and would not cost you a cent I reckon :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[bluc]

Not sure on thickness..still waiting for nuts to arrive.. not sure how to work out thickness when they do arrive was just going to go to local bearing and hydraulic places when they arrive..
