BSP Male Taper Thread x Hose Tail Adapter Fittings — Stainless Steel 304

Match the tail length to your hose's inner diameter and the depth of your hose clamp. As a general rule, the tail should extend at least 1.5× the hose inner diameter past the clamp. For example, a 1/2" (12.7mm) ID hose typically works well with a 15–20mm tail. Always confirm with your hose manufacturer's recommendation.

Stainless Steel 304 BSP taper thread fittings generally handle working pressures up to 150–300 PSI depending on size and application. Larger diameters typically have lower pressure ratings. Contact us to confirm the rating for your specific size and use case.

SS304 offers good corrosion resistance for most outdoor and light-duty wet environments. For highly saline or marine environments, SS316 is generally recommended. These fittings are suitable for garden irrigation, outdoor plumbing, and light industrial outdoor use.

These fittings use BSP Male Taper thread (BSPT / R thread). They are compatible with BSP female parallel (BSPF/G) ports when used with PTFE tape or a liquid sealant. They are not directly interchangeable with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads — the thread angle and pitch differ. An NPT-to-BSP adapter is required if connecting to NPT-threaded components.

Yes. While BSPT taper threads create a mechanical seal through thread engagement, applying PTFE tape (2–3 wraps in the direction of thread) or a liquid thread sealant is strongly recommended for pressurized systems. For water applications, a white PTFE tape rated for plumbing use is generally sufficient.

The barbed hose tail is compatible with flexible hoses including PVC, rubber, and silicone hoses. Match the tail outer diameter to your hose's inner diameter for a snug fit. A stainless steel or galvanized hose clamp is recommended to secure the connection under pressure and prevent pull-out.

Stainless Steel 304 is generally considered food-safe and is widely used in food processing and potable water systems. However, compliance with local plumbing codes and certifications (such as NSF/ANSI 61) should be verified for your specific application. Contact us to confirm suitability before use in regulated systems.

For BSPT fittings, hand-tighten first, then typically add 1.5–3 turns with a wrench depending on the fitting size and material. Over-tightening can crack fittings or damage threads. Always follow the fitting manufacturer's torque guidance and stop when resistance is felt — do not force past that point.
