I had a conversation with a lad in a plumbing place a while back who was very knowledgeable on pipe sizes and tpi (threads per inch) etc.

IIRC, he said 1/2" NPT and 1/2" BSP will fit as they have the same number of tpi, and should be fine if not dealing with high pressure. Here's more info.

Interesting but it will be easier to get BSP fittings over here obviously. I'm working on the idea that once I get the connectors I will be flying with regards to getting the gear.

I saw those on fleabay alright. Something similar.  A female to male adapter is what I am after. I'll make some calls this morning.

http://www.chuggerpumps.com/product.php?prodid=239 is the pump. I am going to use it to whirlpool. I have a terrible problem with water pressure where I live to this bad boy should help to reduce cooling times significantly. It pumps up to 7 us gallons per minute which is a bit nuts for a hb setup.

Whoa "22.7 LPM", so you are going to throughput nearly an entire brew in 1 minute you wont need any form of aeration anyway, I hope its screwed to the floor ;D

I'm looking at getting a couple of these pumps as well. Did you get stung for duty? If so, how much?
