Ok so I have a TC kettle from brewbuilder and I'm thinking about adding a filter inside the kettle, which will have BSP fittings on it most likely. Now what I'm looking for is a triclamp fitting that has BSP connections on the inside of the fitting and either BSP or triclamp on the outside to then attach my valve etc to.

something like this:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32987072242.html?spm=2114.12057483.0.0.13731a5aUVis5W

however, as you'll see this is an NPT thread. I know you can't generally connect NPT to BSP. Does anyone have any experience at solving this?

Further Info:
The filter I'm thinking of putting in the kettle is this: https://www.brewbuilder.co.uk/fo-hop-filter.html
the kettle I have is the 100L version of this: https://www.brewbuilder.co.uk/tc-tanks.html

I'm actually trying to do this so I have 2 filters in line with each other as I've had some blocking issues on this filter: https://www.brewbuilder.co.uk/triclamp-1-5-tc-trub-filter.html

This happens mainly on specific brews, Tornado from the CAMRA book being the main culprit as the banana pulp is great at blocking filters it appears.

You should be able to get adapters from your hardware store cheap, but brass. Have a look on Aliexpress for stainless NPT/BSP adapters.
 
brewbuilder have actually stated they have a TC-TC-BSP connector, they just don't have it on their site so I'm discussing purchasing that off them along with an FO hop filter (as long as it fits in my tank alongside the 5.5kw element).
