1/16" BSP tapered (R1/16 / BSPT) (R1/16)
Where R1/16 is used, its real dimensions, and how to connect it to other standards.
Used on: instrument, gauge and micro-bore ports.
R1/16 is the tapered (BSPT / BS 21 / ISO 7) form of the G1/16 parallel thread, 7.723 mm major diameter at 28 TPI. It seals on the thread flanks as it tightens, so it is used with PTFE tape or paste, not a face washer.
Quick-connect click fittings from Hozelock, Gardena and Karcher are proprietary and do not interchange. They all sit on top of a standard thread underneath, so the reliable way to move between brands is to adapt at the threaded tap or hose-end fitting, then use each brand's own connector above it.
