Product Information

Full details

This solid brass hose tail connector is for gardeners and DIY plumbers needing a dependable link between BSP threaded fittings and hose pipes. Its key benefit is providing a secure, leak-free connection for water, air, or fuel lines. A minor caveat is its specific thread and barb size, requiring careful matching to your existing setup.

FAQs

What is BSP thread?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It's a set of mechanical pipe thread standards used in plumbing and related fields. The '3/4" BSPM' indicates a male thread with a nominal size of 3/4 inch.

Will this fit any hose?

No, this connector is specifically designed for hoses with an inner diameter of 19mm to ensure a snug fit on the barb. Hoses with significantly different diameters may not seal properly or could be difficult to attach.

Can I use this for fuel lines?

This connector can be used for fuel lines if the brass material is compatible with the specific fuel type and the pressure is suitable. Always verify compatibility and use appropriate safety measures.

How tight should I make the connection?

Tighten the BSP thread until snug, then add an additional quarter to half turn, depending on the thread sealant used. Overtightening can damage the threads on both the connector and the fitting.

What is the maximum pressure this connector can handle?

Solid brass fittings are generally suitable for low to moderate pressure applications. Specific pressure ratings depend on the hose used, the tightness of the connection, and the fluid type. It is not intended for high-pressure hydraulic systems.

Does it come with a hose clamp?

This product is for the brass hose tail connector only and typically does not include a hose clamp. A hose clamp is recommended for a secure connection and is usually sold separately.

How do I clean the brass connector?

You can clean the brass connector with a damp cloth. For tarnishing, a mild brass cleaner can be used, followed by rinsing and drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.

Troubleshooting

Connector leaks at the thread.

Ensure the BSP thread is clean and free of debris. Apply a suitable thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape or pipe dope) to the male BSP thread before screwing it in. Check that the female thread it connects to is not damaged.

Hose slips off the barb.

Verify the hose's inner diameter matches the 19mm barb. Ensure the hose is pushed fully onto the barb. Use a hose clamp to secure the hose to the barb for a tighter fit.

Difficulty screwing the connector onto a fitting.

Check for cross-threading or debris in the threads. Ensure the fitting has the correct 3/4" BSP male thread specification. Do not force the connection if it does not engage smoothly.

Connector shows signs of corrosion.

While brass is resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or environments can cause surface oxidation. Clean gently with a soft cloth. For functional issues, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid brass construction resists rust and degradation.
  • Provides a reliable and secure connection point.
  • Easy to install with standard tools.
  • Versatile for various fluid and air line applications.
  • Cost-effective solution for creating secure hose connections.

Cons

  • Specific thread size (3/4" BSPM) and barb size (19mm) limit universal fit.
  • Brass can be susceptible to damage from overtightening.
  • Not suitable for high-pressure applications without proper reinforcement.
  • May require thread sealant for optimal leak prevention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your existing fitting has a 3/4" BSP male thread.
  2. Ensure your hose pipe has an inner diameter of 19mm to fit the barb.
  3. Screw the BSP threaded end of the connector into the compatible female thread.
  4. Slide the hose onto the barb end. For a more secure fit, especially with higher pressures or vibration, use a hose clamp (not included) around the barb.

Compatibility:

  • Thread: Compatible with 3/4 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) male threads.
  • Barb: Designed for hoses with an inner diameter of 19mm.
  • Fluids: Suitable for water, air, and some fuel lines. Always verify chemical compatibility if using for fuel or non-water applications.

Care:

  • Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check connections for tightness and signs of wear.
  • Store in a dry place to prevent oxidation.
  • For extended outdoor use, consider applying a light lubricant to the threads to prevent seizing.
