Metric Tube Connections with BSPP / G Threads
BSPP push-to-connect fittings provide a parallel G-thread connection with metric-size pneumatic tube ports. They are used where metric pneumatic tubing must connect to components that use BSPP parallel threads.
The push-in tube connection allows fast assembly while the BSPP threaded end provides a practical interface to regulators, valves, cylinders, manifolds and other compatible pneumatic components.

BSPP / G Thread Connections
- BSPP is a parallel pipe thread also commonly identified as G thread. Because it is not the same thread form as NPT or BSPT, the correct mating thread and sealing arrangement should be confirmed before installation.
- These fittings are especially useful on imported machinery and metric pneumatic systems where G-threaded ports and millimetre tube sizes are common.
Common Applications
- Industrial automation machinery
- Pneumatic cylinders and actuators
- Directional control valves and manifolds
- Packaging and assembly equipment
- Robotics and end-of-arm equipment
- General factory compressed air circuits
Frequently Asked Questions
What does BSPP mean?
BSPP refers to British Standard Pipe Parallel thread. It is also commonly identified as G thread.
Are BSPP and BSPT threads the same?
No. BSPP is parallel while BSPT is tapered, so thread type and sealing method should be matched correctly.
What tubing sizes are used with this category?
This category is intended for metric-size pneumatic tube connections.
What is the working pressure range?
The source specification lists 0–150 psi(g) / 10 bar(g).
Can BSPP push-in fittings be used for vacuum?
The source specification lists vacuum duty to 29.5 inHg / 14 mbar(a).
What temperature range is listed?
The listed standard working temperature is 32–140°F / 0–60°C.
Where are BSPP push-in fittings used?
They are commonly used to connect tubing to pneumatic valves, cylinders, manifolds, regulators and machine components with G-threaded ports.
How do I select the correct BSPP fitting?
Confirm the G-thread size, tube outside diameter, fitting shape, pressure, temperature and sealing method.
