I assume you want BSPT for a fusible plug?

There was a thread on here back in April. <click here>

Whilst 7/8" doesn't seem to be a standard taper size, taps are sometimes available.

As the thread shows, some people have had success with Tracy Tools. But when I was searching for one neither they nor anyone else seemed to stock them. In the end I made my own from carbon steel.

Good luck in your search.
