 Connecting an American Faucet to German Waterlines
Author: CARL HECKEL (CA)

Hi, I have an American bathtub faucet with a 1/2" IPS which I'd like to install on German metric waterlines.
Does anyone have info on how this can be done?
Thanks,
carl

Germany uses the DIN standard, which has the same thread as BSP, but uses a different number system.

I just read and copied this - "It is in fact exactly the same thread-form as Whitworth so to identify the correct thread size under the DIN Standard, you have DIN 15 equaling BSP half inch. DIN 20 equaling BSP three quarter inch and DIN 25 equaling BSP one inch."

You shouldn't have any problem finding IPS x BSP adapters in the male/female/combination you need.
