Sorry for spamming up the Construction Materials thread like this.
I recently bought this QEV:

and this slide valve:

as suggested by JSR in this thread to make a semi-auto valve system:

I was told that they have BSP threads.
However, I looked for adapters for BSP male to NPT female connections and found out that there's BSPP and BSPT.
From what I read, BSPP is not tapered while BSPT is.
What exactly is the type of BSP thread on the QEV and slide valve?
I know it's probably not a good idea/it probably won't even work, but is it OK to attach a BSPP male to a BSPT female (and vice-versa)?
I was considering this adapter:

Will this work with the slide valve and QEV?
BSP Thread Types?

Quick update: I checked the manufacturer's info on the valves and I found out that they use parallel threads, so the adapter I linked to will work.
Here are the data sheets in case anyone else needs them:

Both data sheets show a range of models with different port sizes.
