When connecting a tubing system to a faucet, the IME 1/2 BSP to 15mm compression adapter is an essential piece. There are several types of compression adapters, including Quick Connect stem adapters, Brass parallel stud couplings, and threads. By using the proper fittings, you can ensure a high integrity plumbing system. Whether your faucet has a 15mm diameter or is a combination of both, you'll find that these connections will provide excellent performance.
IME 1/2" BSP to 15mm compression adapter
This IME 1/2 BSP to 15mm compression adapter is a flexible connector with female threads designed to screw on the basin tap. A 15mm compression fitting has a 1/2" BSP female thread, and a female thread of the same size screws onto the tapered male thread of the IME. The resulting thread jamming seals the joint. This adapter can be used for both hot and cold water systems and comes with both a male and female thread.
Parallel and taper threads
The outer diameter of a BSP thread is equal to half of the inner diameter. The same holds for the inner thread. To determine whether you have a parallel thread or a taper thread, measure the outer diameter. Then multiply the two dimensions together to get the thread size. If you don't know how to measure threads, read the instruction manual. Usually, the instructions include a caliper for determining the thread size.
In the U.S., threads with tapered threads were first defined in 1864 by William Sellers, president of the Franklin Institute. The design became widely accepted because it flattened the peaks and valleys, making them easier to manufacture for ordinary machinists. In Britain, Joseph Whitworth proposed a similar thread design in 1841. The British Standard Whitworth was eventually used.
Metric Thread Size Frequently Used in the USA.
The metric thread size is the most commonly used in the U.S. and is the first widely accepted general-purpose thread. It has a 60-degree flank angle and comes in two types: coarse and fine. These two thread types are distinguished by their diameter and pitch size. Both are used in the same applications but are designed for different applications. The difference between coarse and fine pitch refers to the size of the threads.
It is essential to understand the difference between metric and tapered threads when preparing a fitting for a particular application. Parallel threads are more common than taper threads. Parallel threads are easier to work with because of their parallel profile and can be visually checked by looking at the part. The most common straight-thread fluid power fittings are SAE O-Ring Boss, British Standard Pipe Parallel (BSPP), and Joint Industry Council.
Brass parallel stud coupling
A brass male parallel stud coupling has a 1/2 BSP male thread on one end and a 15mm compression connection on the other. This fitting makes it easy to connect two pieces of pipe without fumbling with the dimensions. Brass is durable metal material and this quick fitting is nickel-plated brass. It is suitable for compressed air, water, and vacuum. It is made by a BS EN ISO 9001:2008 certified company.
2-1/4 Inch BSP - Immersion water heater elements
If you have a commercial dishwasher for sterilizing equipment and are looking for an immersion water heater, you've come to the right place. Immersion water heater elements feature a unique construction and have specific characteristics for these applications. They're equipped with a high limit cutout and thermostat and feature a thermowell located at the top of the element bundle to prevent overheating due to low water levels. Some models are plated with molybdenum to enhance corrosion resistance in certain environments, including those with chlorides.
Immersion water heater elements have 1/2 BSP to 15mm threaded connections, but the actual diameter of the brass boss is slightly larger than the stated thread size. For example, a 2.25-inch BSP connection will measure 2.5 inches. Another feature to consider is the size of the element. Elements that are 11 inches in diameter are used for top-heating only, while those that use a Fortic cylinder have a diameter of two-and-a-half inches.
