    1” flow meter

    What type of threads are on the meter? I don’t want to use 1” unions. I want to get a 1” reducer to 3/4”. I recently purchased a reducer from pvcfittingsonline and it does not fit.

    Neptune uses British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads, not US NPT (National Pipe Thread). I managed to get a NPT adapter to work on a 1/2 flow sensor by using teflon tape, but it's not ideal.

    If you are specifically looking for the adaptor I believe it’s BSPP (2nd P means parallel thread which is different than standard BSP)

    Do they have pvc BSP to NPT adapters ?
    CanÂ’t seem to find any online. I guess I will try Teflon tape.
