Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first verify your hose inner diameter is exactly 19mm to ensure a proper fit. Insert the barbed end into the hose; if the fit is too tight, briefly soaking the end of the hose in warm water can make it more pliable. Use a stainless steel worm-drive hose clamp over the barbed section to secure the connection. When connecting the 3/4" BSP end, use Teflon tape on the threads to create a water-tight seal. To maintain the fitting, periodically inspect the brass surface for oxidation and ensure the hose clamp remains tight. If using in a water system, ensure the fitting is drained during winter months to prevent damage from freezing.
