Ordered all the parts for this and have an issue I'm looking for help on.
When trying to screw in the parallel nipple into the valve I can only get a few turns before it stops, I can't screw it fully in, this leaves a large gap when screwing in the reducer so is nowhere near watertight. Contacting BES they state that the thread on the 20306 is tapered so the parallel nipple wouldn't screw in far, everyone else seems to have managed so am I missing something!?
All help appreciated.
Cheers
Dan

Because one side of the ball valve has a taper thread where hose tail adapter fits mine is on the opposite side from yours.
so I would expect it to be parallel on both sides. Have you queried this with them as they have clearly changed the part?BSP Parallel Female x Female
