Or is it that it does not screw together tight enough?
Its fairly hard to source bspt nuts, i would even go as far as to say they don't make them commercially.

We annealed 1/2 the pipe, then filled with sand packed tight & capped the end. First attempt, pipe tore perfectly straight as if it was cut with a hacksaw. Ah, we thought, no lube. Cut the end off packed with sand again & capped, go again, same result. So we emptied the sand, go again same result. Tried the outer end, same same again.
At this point Old Colin said it may not work, he thinks it may have something to do with the age of pipe. Ah well, no lovely sweeping bend on my build, plan B, off to fleece for a 2” 90. Funny thing though, all the bits left over, are all near enough the right lengths for all the little bits and pieces I need, so basically no wastage.
