How do I know what size hole to drill for tapping?
As a rule of thumb, for Metric threads, the tapping drill can be calculated by subtracting the pitch from the diameter of the thread. eg for an M5x0. 75 thread the tapping drill is 5-0.75mm = 4.25mm. For Imperial (inch) threads the tapping drill size is calculated in the same way, diameter minus pitch.

What size drill bit do I use for 1/4 20 tap?
The best overall size drill bit for 1/4″ 20 tap is a #7 drill bit, the measurement being 13/64”. The concept of tapping threads is relatively simple, but in practice, it can get complicated. If the hole is too small, the tapping will extend too far into the center making it difficult to screw the bolt into the hole.
Is 1 2 BSP the same as 15mm?
1/2″ pipe refers to the internal diameter, 15mm pipe is the external diameter… In my experience they are so similar that you can even use solder fittings without a worry, so using 15mm olives on 12″ pipe isn’t a problem. Occasionally they are very marginally tight, but not enough to be an issue.
