3/8 BSP Female x 3/8 Compression Male

$19.00

So are you having trouble finding a fitting to connect your European espresso machine to American plumbing? This is THE part you will need to install espresso machines in America. More than likely because male threads for water inlet on 99% of commercial European espresso machines are 3/8" BSPP. (3/8 BSPP will measures 5/8 " ~ 16.5 mm NOT the same as NPT.) If you need more info on understanding BSPP the nerds over at wiki do a good job: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Standard_Pipe.

The male threads coming out of your wall are more than likely 3/8" compression. You can purchase a long enough 3/8" x 3/8" compression hose to go from your wall to this fitting, which would thread onto the male water inlet connection on your machines pump.

This fitting is a universal piece, however for sealing you may select either a copper or PTFE gasket the be installed between this fitting and the male pump fitting.

This is a very very hard piece to find!!! You won't find it on Amazon..

I use this piece without issue to hook up 3/8 compression too 3/8 bsp. I'm using a 90° bsp fitting on a bwt flex head filter without issue without any leaks. Just using Teflon tape and a rubber O-ring. I wish they had more in stock as I would have bought an extra as backup.

Not working well with BWT filter

I will call this product adapters for clarity. Bought these to plumb in the BWT besthead filter which has standard 90 degree 3/8 bsp fittings. I wield hoping to use these to adapt to the compression fittings. However elbow part of the 90 degree fitting prevents these adapters from screwing all the way up. As such the bsp fittings cannot compress the I ring to form water tight seal. I then used telflon tape but the usually 3-6 turns are insufficient. About 12 turns are needed to stop any water leaking through.
