Ball Valve Connections

I see a lot of ball valves with BSP threads (male and female). Will these work with standard 3/8” NPT quick connect fittings?

Thanks!

Nope. You might be able to make them fit because the threads are similar but you also will likely damage threads and leaks are more likely. Get a BSP to NPT adapter or better yet order one from a good company like Presuretek or Southside

According to the Presure Tek retailer you recommended you can use BSP threads with NPT. They recommend wrapping with 6-7 wraps of teflon tape. Any thoughts???

BSP and NPT are close enough that once you use a thread sealer (tape or loctite) you should be fine.
