Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size hose does this connector fit?

This hosetail connector is designed for hoses with an approximate internal diameter of 25mm (1 inch).

What is a 1" BSP male thread?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It is a common standard for threaded fittings used in plumbing and fluid transfer. This connector has a male thread measuring 1 inch in diameter, intended to screw into a female BSP thread of the same size.

Are the hose clips adjustable?

Yes, the included double wire hose clips have adjustable screws, allowing you to tighten them for a custom, secure fit on the hose and connector.

Can this be used for drinking water applications?

This product is primarily designed for pond and general garden use. For drinking water, it is recommended to use fittings specifically certified for potable water systems.

How many hose clips are included?

The kit includes two double wire hose clips for enhanced security.

What is the purpose of the barbs on the connector?

The barbs create multiple ridges that grip the inside of the hose, providing a strong seal and preventing the hose from slipping off under pressure.

What type of pond equipment is this suitable for?

It is effective for connecting to pond pumps, filters, UV sterilisers, and for general hose-to-hose connections or connecting hoses to other pond plumbing fittings.

Troubleshooting

Hose slips off the connector

Ensure the hose is pushed fully onto the barbs. Tighten both hose clips securely using the adjustable screws. If the hose is too rigid or old, consider using a hose with a slightly smaller internal diameter or replacing the hose.

Leak at the connection point

Check that the hose is evenly seated on the barbs. Tighten the hose clips further. Ensure the hose material is not cracked or degraded, which would prevent a proper seal. Confirm the 25mm hose diameter is appropriate for the 25mm hosetail.

Hose clip screw is difficult to turn

Ensure the screw mechanism is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary. Do not overtighten to the point of stripping the screw.

Connector does not fit the equipment's female thread

Verify that the equipment has a 1" BSP female thread. This connector has a 1" BSP male thread. Ensure no debris is obstructing the threads on either component.

Pros and Cons

  • Adjustable hose clips ensure a tailored and tight fit.
  • Simple and quick to install, saving time and effort.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select a hose with an internal diameter suitable for the 25mm hosetail.
  2. Slide the hose onto the barbed end of the connector.
  3. Place one of the included double wire hose clips over the hose near the connector.
  4. Use the screw on the hose clip to tighten it securely around the hose and connector.
  5. Repeat for the second hose clip if maximum security is desired.

Care:
