Product Information
Full details
This Pisces Male BSP Hosetail Connector is designed for users needing a secure and easy-to-install connection for their hose systems, particularly in plumbing and irrigation. Its key benefit is simplifying the transition between a standard hose size and a BSP threaded fitting. A potential caveat is the BSP thread sizing method, which requires a specific measurement calculation.

FAQs
What size hose does this connector fit?
This connector is designed to fit hoses with an internal diameter of 25mm.
How do I determine the correct BSP thread size?
BSP thread sizing is determined by measuring the external diameter of the thread in inches and subtracting 1/4 inch. For example, a thread with an external diameter of 1 1/4 inches corresponds to a 1 inch BSP fitting.
Do I need a hose clamp?
Yes, a hose clamp is required to secure the 25mm hose onto the barb and ensure a leak-free connection. This is not included with the connector.
What is the thread type of the connector?
The thread type is BSP (British Standard Pipe). This specific connector has a 1 1/4 inch BSP male thread.
Can this be used for high-pressure systems?
This connector is suitable for standard water flow applications. For high-pressure systems, additional reinforcement or specialized fittings may be necessary.
What materials is the connector made of?
The product information does not specify the exact material, but it is constructed from durable materials suitable for water transfer.
Troubleshooting
Hose slips off the barb.
Ensure a hose clamp is used and tightened securely over the barb. Check that the hose is pushed fully onto the barb.
Water leaks from the thread connection.
Verify that the female BSP fitting is clean and undamaged. Ensure the connector is screwed in straight and tight. Consider using PTFE tape or a suitable thread sealant on the BSP thread.
Difficulty fitting the hose onto the barb.
Slightly warm the end of the hose in warm water to make it more pliable. Ensure the hose is the correct 25mm internal diameter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the 25mm hose is clean and free of debris.
- Slide a hose clamp over the end of the 25mm hose.

Compatibility:
- Hose Size: Compatible with hoses having an internal diameter of 25mm.
- Thread Size: Compatible with 1 1/4" BSP male threaded fittings. To confirm your BSP thread size, measure its external diameter in inches and subtract 1/4 inch (e.g., 1 1/4" external diameter typically corresponds to 1" BSP).
Care:
- Periodically check the hose clamp for tightness.
- Clean the connector with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspect the threads for damage before re-connecting.
