It is important to note that the fittings are manufactured by different companies, therefore, it is crucial to check the compatibility of the pushfit end with the manufacturer's pushfit fittings and the compatibility of the thread end with the pipe or tubing you want to connect before purchasing. It's also important to note that NPT threads have a tapered design which is different from BSP or BSPT threads.
