What is the best way to seal 3/4" BSP parallel to parallel threads.
The shower valve I have states use parallel fittings only.

I need to seal the incoming water fittings (15mm to 3/4" BSP parallel) and a blanking plug at the bottom.

I can only assume that the female threads in the valve are parallel as the blanking plug screws in right up to the boss.

Hope someone can help.

Parallel threads are usually designed with the idea that a soft washer or 'O' ring will be used, the thread itself does not usually form part of the seal.
