1¼” ABOUT THIS CHART

British Standard Pipe (BSP) is a commonly used

1¼” thread standard in plumbing. Its nominal size can be

confusing because the name refers to the internal
2”
diameter of the pipe (the bore) rather than the external
diameter (often the only part accessible to measure).

To the left are a set of circles corresponding to pipe

sizes commonly used in domestic plumbing, labelled 1½”
1” with their nominal BSP size.
