Is the 90° Adaptor with Male BSP Thread, Stainless Steel, Type A116 compatible with standard BSP fittings and sealants for high‑pressure applications?

Yes. The 90° Adaptor with Male BSP Thread, Stainless Steel, Type A116 is compatible with standard BSP fittings and sealants for high‑pressure applications. It features external BSP threads on both ends with precise 60° cone seals, which are the standard sealing geometry for many BSP systems, and is machined to ensure reliable, leak‑free engagement. Made from AISI 316L stainless steel, it withstands corrosion and aggressive media typical in high‑pressure hydraulic and industrial environments. For optimal performance at elevated pressures, match the adapter to mating BSP female fittings of the same thread size and pressure rating, use appropriate high‑pressure‑rated sealants or PTFE tape approved for hydraulic service where required, and follow recommended torque and installation practices. If your system uses a different BSP variant (e.g., parallel vs. tapered) or non‑BSP standards, confirm thread type and pressure ratings before installation.

Can the 90° Adaptor with Male BSP Thread, Stainless Steel, Type A116 be used with PTFE tape or liquid sealants without compromising high‑pressure cone seal integrity?

Short answer: No — avoid PTFE tape or liquid thread sealants on the 90° Adaptor with Male BSP Thread, Stainless Steel, Type A116 if you want to preserve the designed high‑pressure 60° cone seal integrity. Why: the A116 relies on metal‑to‑metal 60° cone seating on the external BSP threads to form a mechanically tight, high‑pressure seal. Soft sealants such as PTFE tape or liquid compounds can prevent full metal contact at the cone face, alter tightening torque, contaminate the cone seating surfaces, and introduce compressible or extrudable material that can flow out under pressure and cause leaks or seal failure. They can also interfere with correct preload and lead to galling or overstress during assembly. Recommended practice: install clean, undamaged A116 fittings using the manufacturer’s specified tightening procedure and torque. If a secondary seal is required, consult the manufacturer for approved seal types or engineered sealing solutions compatible with 60° cone BSP connections and AISI 316L material.
