Threads on the oil pressure switch - what type?

On my d16, I'm using the output for the oil pressure switch as the oil supply.

The threads for this are either BSPT or BSPP - anyone know which one it is?

Thanks,
John

NPT will go in fine, I have some autometer braided line threaded in there right now at 1/8 NPT.....dunno what problems this causes tho, but I've never had any leaks....
