Product Information

Full details

This brass hose tail connector is for users needing a robust and reliable link between BSP male threads and hose barb fittings for various fluid transfer applications. Its key benefit is providing a secure, leak-resistant connection that can handle air, gas, water, or fuel. A potential caveat is its fixed straight configuration, which may not suit all routing needs.

FAQs

What is BSP thread?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It is a set of widely used industrial pipe fitting standards. The '3/4"' refers to the nominal pipe size, and 'm' indicates it's a male thread.

Can this connector be used with high-pressure systems?

This connector is suitable for moderate pressure applications. Always check the pressure ratings of your hose and system and ensure they are compatible with the connector's capabilities.

What types of fluids can I use with this hose tail?

It is generally suitable for water, air, gas, and many fuels. However, for specific or aggressive chemicals, it's best to verify brass compatibility with the fluid manufacturer or a technical expert.

Do I need a hose clamp?

Yes, a hose clamp is highly recommended to secure the hose firmly onto the barb fitting, ensuring a leak-proof connection, especially under pressure.

Can I use this outdoors?

Yes, solid brass is weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to the elements may cause surface patina over time.

What is the difference between BSPP and BSPM?

BSPP (Parallel) and BSPT (Taper) are types of BSP threads. BSPM indicates a Male thread. This connector has a Male Tapered thread (BSPT) which seals by engaging with a female tapered thread or a female parallel thread with a sealing washer.

How do I clean the brass connector?

Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Connection leaks at the BSP thread

Ensure thread sealant tape is applied correctly and the connection is tightened appropriately. Check for cross-threading or damage to the BSP threads.

Hose slips off the barb

Verify the hose inner diameter is 25mm. Ensure a hose clamp is used and tightened securely over the barb, as close to the end of the barb as possible.

Connector appears corroded

While brass is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or environments can cause surface discoloration. Clean with a soft cloth. If structural integrity is compromised, replace the unit.

Difficulty attaching hose

Ensure the hose is slightly warmed or softened (if appropriate for the hose material) to aid in sliding it over the 25mm barb. Check that the hose end is not deformed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to solid brass material.
  • Provides a secure and reliable connection for various fluid types.
  • Resistant to corrosion, extending product lifespan in diverse conditions.
  • Easy to install with standard tools and fittings.
  • Offers good value for a dependable fluid connector.

Cons

  • Fixed straight configuration limits installation flexibility.
  • BSP thread size is specific and requires compatible fittings.
  • Barb size is fixed, requiring hoses that match the 25mm diameter.
  • May require thread sealant or tape for optimal sealing on BSP threads.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring extreme flexibility or angled connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the male BSP thread and the hose barb are clean and free from debris.
  2. For the BSP thread connection, wrap the male threads with appropriate thread sealant tape (e.g., PTFE tape) for a watertight seal.
  3. Screw the hose tail connector onto the BSP male thread fitting by hand until snug, then use a wrench for a final quarter to half turn. Do not overtighten.
  4. Slide the hose onto the barb fitting. Ensure the hose is the correct size (25mm) and is rated for the intended fluid and pressure.
  5. Secure the hose to the barb using an appropriate hose clamp (not included) positioned near the end of the barb.

Compatibility:

  • Thread: Compatible with 3/4 inch Male BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads.
  • Hose Barb: Designed for hoses with an inner diameter of 25mm.
  • Fluids: Suitable for water, air, gas, and certain fuels. Always confirm material compatibility with the specific fluid being transferred.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the connector for any signs of corrosion or damage.
  • Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the brass surface.
  • For extended storage, ensure connections are dry and clean.
