Default NPT and BSP threads

I am looking at getting some water filters, 20 inch housings, with 3/4
inch NPT female connections in plastic tops. Can I get away with
screwing in 3/4 BSP taper male brass compression fittings, using a
good wind of PTFE tape??
Both are 14 TPI and the nominal NPT is 1.050 inch OD and BSP is
fractionally smaller at 1.041 inch OD.
