BSP ⅛" thread leak?

[mc_tt]

Hey all,
I'm using the "Best Fittings Charging Kit 200/300 DIN bar" and the "Best Fittings Adaptor 200/232 bar DIN Female — ⅛ BSP Male" together to fill a Morini cylinder, but it seems like air leaks from the ⅛" BSP Female and the ⅛" BSP Male connection. Also, I'm unsure if the threads are BSPP or BSPT, the website doesn't say. Pictures for reference.

There is a gasket in the ⅛" BSP Female.

Thanks

I forget if it is BSP 1/8" or not, but some connections require a copper washer. Best Fittings is great to work with, and I'm sure they will help you sort it out.

Thanks all, I’ll report back when I have an answer

I contacted Best Fittings and they were helpful. The solution is to use a spanner to tighten the connection, which worked! I was originally just using my fingers.

Great news! I have an identical valve on which the pressure relief button flew off after many years of use. BEST fittings sent me the parts and instructions to fix it- gratis. A great company to deal with, for sure.
