Full details
The Pisces Female BSP Hosetail is designed for pond enthusiasts and irrigation professionals who need a secure, reliable connection between 40mm flexible tubing and 1.5-inch BSP threaded hardware. It serves as a critical bridge in plumbing systems, ensuring a tight seal for water flow; however, users must verify their thread sizing carefully using the BSP measurement standard to avoid compatibility issues.

FAQs
What does BSP stand for?
BSP stands for British Standard Pipe, which is the technical standard for screw threads used on pipes and fittings.
Can I use this with NPT threaded equipment?
No, BSP and NPT threads have different profiles and pitch; they are generally not compatible.
How do I measure for a 1.5 inch BSP fitting?
Measure the external diameter of the thread in inches and subtract 1/4 inch. For a 1.5-inch fitting, the external diameter should measure 1.75 inches.
Does this connector come with a gasket?
Please check the individual packaging; if a seal is not included, it is recommended to use a rubber washer or PTFE tape for a leak-free connection.
Is this safe for use in salt water?
Yes, the materials used are suitable for standard freshwater and saltwater pond applications.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking at the thread connection
Ensure the connection is tight and consider using PTFE tape or a rubber gasket to improve the seal.
Hose slipping off the barb
Verify that a high-quality stainless steel hose clamp is properly tightened over the barb area.
Fitting will not screw on smoothly
Check for cross-threading or debris in the threads and confirm that you are not attempting to thread onto a non-BSP connection.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures a reliable, airtight connection for 40mm tubing
- Standardized BSP threading makes it widely compatible with industry equipment
- Simple, tool-free installation for standard hose clamps
- High-quality construction designed for long-term submersion or external use
Cons
- Requires careful measurement to ensure correct BSP sizing
- Not compatible with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads
- Requires additional hose clamps for a pressure-tight seal
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide your 40mm hose over the barbed end and secure it firmly with a stainless steel hose clamp. When attaching the threaded end to your pump or filter, ensure the BSP thread is clean and free of debris. Use an appropriate O-ring or Teflon tape if required to create a watertight seal. To calculate your needed size: measure the external diameter of your existing thread in inches, then subtract 1/4 inch to find the correct BSP fitting. Clean the connector periodically during routine pond maintenance to prevent mineral buildup.
