Do people still use BSP threaded pipes? I see them for gas on the outside of houses. And it struck me that it should be impossible to tighten them fully - what's the chances of the corner piece facing the right way?

Excellent, if you know what you are doing. I installed a combination of 2" and 1" steel pipe for airlines around two factory units, with multiple branches. They all ended up facing the right way and there were no leaks. You just need a couple of good Stillson wrenches.

BSP pipes - how to tighten and have them facing the right way?

Ah, found it. But what about doing it up?

The right side of it looks a bit like a compression fitting.
