Source: The torque values above are taken directly from the official technical catalogue of the Balfit brand and are provided as general guidance only; final tightening torque must follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the fitting actually used. BS 5200 is also the basis for the BSPP/BSPT fittings of brands such as Parker and Walterscheid.

In plain terms: BSP fittings come in two thread forms: tapered (BSPT, which seals on the thread itself) and parallel (BSPP, which needs an O-ring or bonded washer). Confusing the two is the most common cause of leaks on imported European equipment — always confirm the exact thread form before ordering.
