What Hexagon Sizes for Pipe Fittings?

[MEinThailandParticipant @meinthailand]

Hi everyone,

Is there a Table published anywhere showing what size across flats hexagon bar is needed to make copper pipe fittings.

I have just measured what few I have but they seem all over the place. The ones I have are brass but I want to make some bronze ones.

I'm in the range of say 1/8" up to 1/2" pipe. (+/-)

Many thanks for any guidance,

This chart may be of some use to you although the quality is not good and it only goes up to 1/4"

Hello Mick and many thanks for the chart.

I can read it OK and at least it’s a start.

Dimensions for BSP pipe fittings found here.

Pipe fittings (BSP ) use Whitworth form threads, and so normally use Whitworth sizes hexagons, rather than "normal" A/F sizes.
