Thread size guide for beverage dispensing
In the world of beverage dispensing, secure connections between components are crucial for efficient, safe operation and proper dispensing of the drink. One area that requires careful attention is understanding the existing thread sizes and standards in this sector, which are also compatible with plumbing. We provide you with a comprehensive guide to navigating thread sizes, ensuring that you find the perfect fit for your dispensing system.
Introduction to thread sizes and their standards
Threads are essential for connecting tubing, components, and accessories in any beverage dispensing system. Thread sizes refer to the diameter and the number of threads per inch, which affects how components fit together.
Creating a conversion table that includes multiple thread standards can be an invaluable resource for professionals and enthusiasts in the beverage dispensing industry. Below is a conversion table with the most common plumbing thread sizes used in beverage dispensing, focusing on BSP (British Standard Pipe) and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) standards.
