The Japanese tapered pipe thread connector is identical to and interchangeable with the BSPT (tapered) connector. The Japanese male thread does not have a 30° Flare, and will not mate with the BSPP female swivel with conical seat. The seal on the Japanese tapered pipe thread connector is made on the threads. Use of a thread sealant is recommended. Thread form per JIS B 0203 (identical to BSPT).

Refer to BSPT section for dimensions of threads.
This connection uses a 60° concave (inverted) seat and British Standard Pipe Parallel threads. They are not interchangeable with BSPP conical seat couplings, because the cone seats are opposite. Thread form per JIS B 0202 (identical to BSPP).

Refer to BSPP section for dimensions of threads.
