So I got the toplink from surplus center, description reads that the "Ports: 3/8" BSPP" but it also says that it "Ships with two 3/8" BSPPM to 3/8" NPTM connectors".
I never used BSPP... Don't know what it looks like but when I screw in what I think is BSPP into the lock valve (labeled base in photo) It's very loose until the final turn. I feel like that will surely leak.
When I turn the connector over and use the NPTM, it feels good and tightens up as I screw it in. I am not sure which one the lock valve is threaded for... can I just screw in any 3/8" NPTF connector into the block?
Basically, in the photo, which connector is screwed in correctly? A or B?
It also seems that the swivel I plan to use really likes to screw onto what is labeled "A" BSPP.... it's really tight (just using fingers :confused2
PS... It was shipped with "B" threads facing out (the loose fitting way)
