I have a used small flat plate heat exchanger. It has one inch male British pipe threads. I need to find a converter to american threads. I hope i am making this clear.
 
This problem often arises when trying to bojangle AF automotive fittings to BSP plumbing fittings or visa versa,

In this instance you will probably have to cut your own threads,

All part of the delights being a plumber.

PS dont forget BSP thread can be parallel or tapered,
Tapered is used when the female part of the connection is strong enough to resist the
potential bursting forces of a male taper,

Parallel BSP is generally used on aluminium and brass female connections and if you introduce a BSP male tapered thread into a parallel female thread you will probably
break the female part before a seal is achieved.

I have attached an image of the brass body within a tap. Having replaced a cartridge which has cured a leaking tap, I can see that there is a small leak from the brass body which can be unscrewed. Is there a seal behind the body? Thanks.

The fittings below are for a mixer bar attached to a self contained shower. i.e not a wall. The attaching screws have snapped. I could get two new brackets, dismantle that existing one and start again or I could try and re attach via those screws, removing the broken ones from the plate and wall...

Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but donā€™t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.
