What is a BSP connection?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a technical standard for the screw threads and it a very common type of thread. Many of the connections and pipes used to link two or more IBCs together will use BSP threads, as will many taps. It’s a widely-used international standard, which is why our IBC to BSP adapters come in a range of sizes, e.g. from 1/2 inch up to 2 inch.
