But that makes no sense?
the size 1/4'', 1/8'' is the diameter of the thread.
the bspt is the type of thread (british standerd pipe thread)
or bsf, bsw etc.
i would check that if i was you, it would be like trying to run a 3mm nut down a 6mm bolt, if you get me?

this 1/4" tackle confuses the hell out of me. needing the union things to make sort of a vacuum block basically. you can buy them from america, but id rather make one and i cant be bothered waiting for it to arrive.
