Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Gauge Install + Explanation of British Pipe Threads

2017-04-05 Thread Jake Brodersen via CnC-List 
Charlie,

 

For your benefit and the rest of the list, I have dug into the dusty archives 
of several British car companies and have learned a lot about British pipe 
threads.

 

B = British

S = Standard

P = Pipe

P = Parallel  (Yes, P can mean more than one thing…)

T = Tapered

 

BSPT threads are found on the Yanmar block.  The oil pressure sensor fitting is 
a 1/8” tapered fitting, designated BSPT.  These are pipe threads where 
pressure-tightness is made through the mating of two threads together. They 
always use a taper male thread, but can have either parallel or taper female 
threads. International standards require all female threads to be parallel.  
(This fact has helped my search quite a bit).

 

BSPP threads are parallel pipe threads used where a pressure-tight joint is 
achieved by the compression of a soft material (such as an O-ring seal or a 
washer) between the end face of the male thread and a socket or nipple face, 
with the tightening of a backnut.  The last thing you want are your nipples to 
leak!

 

So now I have found an elbow that will work in my situation.  This item should 
fit the bill and keep my sensor clear of the alternator belt.  
https://www.amazon.com/Elbow-Degree-Fitting-Female-Thread/dp/B01M4P10U2/ref=sr_1_16?s=hi

 =UTF8=1491387086=1-16=BSP+elbow

 

So now, whether you’re working on a Japanese engine or a British sports car, 
you know the difference between BSPT and BSPP threads.

I would highly advise against drilling any where near an oil passage. One small 
stray metal chip could get onto a bearing surface and you are rebuilding your 
engine. Find the correct fittings and seal with permatex #2. I used NPT 
fittings on my 3QM30 when I installed an oil pressure gauge.

Josh,

 

I thought I needed a BSPT street elbow.  The link you sent is for a BSPP street 
elbow.  The sender is BSPT (tapered threads).  I know the thread pitch is the 
same, but will the tapered threads seal in a (BSPP) parallel fitting?

 

I’ve also seen BSP elbows.  Not sure if they are tapered or parallel.  I need 
to research British pipe more, I guess.  I did find this one, that looks pretty 
close.  For $7 it’s probably worth a try.

I could just go with the VDO sender.  It has a nice pressure gauge and a red

Hi Jake,

I think you're looking for a "street elbow". See links.

Don't go with the stainless steel option if you 
have a choice. It will be sexy in the beginning 
and might let you down much later.

where have we heard that before?

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Gauge Install

Mine came with the street elbow already installed.  One alternative I
considered before buying the tee was to drill and tap the port to the next
size larger.  1/4" NPT instead of 1/8 BSPT.  Then a bushing would get tou
back to 1/8" NPT.

Any way you slice it the parts just don't seem to be available.

Guys,

a compatible product.  It would have to be a male-to-female 90 degree (or
45 degree) elbow with 1/8” BSPT threads on both ends.  I’ve found a number
of male-to-male fittings, but that won’t quite work.



I’ve searched a lot and haven’t found anything that would work.  Has anyone
else run into this problem?  I don’t have room to relocated the alternator
enough to provide clearance.



Any ideas?
