Various European (BSP) Thread Fittings
Most espresso machine fittings are BSP, which are also referred to as "gas" fittings. They come in Imperial sizes (1/8, 1/4, 3/8...), not metric. The thread pitch is different from American NPT fittings and therefore are not interchangeable. BSP fittings come in two versions: BSPP (parallel / straight) and BSPT (tapered). In almost all cases, only BSPP threads are used in espresso machines.
