    How to connect to this fitting?

    Here is a pic of a fitting on a duplex stainless buffer cylinder. The thread looks to be 1" BSPP. Any idea of the best way to connect to this? Is there some kind of gasket/o-ring/olive meant for these? or is it best to use a tapered fitting with pipe with dope and hemp?

    Is this elbow good to go. Goes from 15mm speedfit to 15mm copper then out to mixer. Will this bend cause any reduce in pressure.
