3/4" BSP tapered (R3/4 / BSPT) (R3/4)

Where R3/4 is used, its real dimensions, and how to connect it to other standards.

R3/4Thread standard
DesignationR3/4
Major diameter26.441 mm
Threads per inch / pitch14
Thread formtapered, 55 degree
Seals onon the thread flanks with PTFE tape or paste

Used on: UK and European pipework, some pumps and manifolds.

Tapered, so it seals as it tightens on the thread itself. An R3/4 male will start into a G3/4 female but seals differently; use PTFE tape and do not over-tighten.

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.
