Stainless Steel BSP Hose Tail Connector Fitting — Y / L / T / Inline Type

Match the hose tail shank diameter to your hose's inner diameter (ID). For example, a 10mm hose tail fits a hose with a 10mm ID. If you're unsure, measure the inside of your hose with calipers. Sizes here range from 6mm (≈1/4") to 41mm (≈1-5/8"). When in between sizes, it's generally better to size down slightly so the barb grips the hose securely.

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. The taper (BSPT) thread creates a self-sealing joint as it tightens — the thread diameter increases along the length, so the fitting wedges into the port as you turn it. This generally eliminates the need for additional sealant on smaller sizes, though PTFE tape is typically recommended for a reliable, leak-free seal in most applications.

Yes. Stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to rust and corrosion, making these fittings suitable for outdoor irrigation systems, garden water lines, marine-adjacent plumbing, and other wet or humid environments. For fully submerged or saltwater use, contact us to confirm the specific grade before ordering.

Stainless steel hose tail fittings of this type typically handle working pressures in the range of 150–300 PSI depending on size, hose type, and installation quality. Always verify the pressure rating against your specific application requirements. Contact us to confirm for critical or high-pressure systems.

Y-Type splits flow at an angle (like a Y-shape), ideal for branching two lines from one source at an angle. L-Type creates a 90° elbow turn, useful when routing around corners or obstacles. T-Type splits flow in three directions at 90°, commonly used for tee-off connections in a main line. Inline (一) Type is a straight-through connector for extending or joining hoses end-to-end.

BSPT taper threads are designed to seal on the thread taper itself. However, applying PTFE (Teflon) tape is generally recommended for most plumbing and fluid transfer applications to ensure a leak-free connection, especially at higher pressures or when connecting to parallel (BSPP) female ports. PTFE tape is not included.

These fittings use BSP taper (BSPT) threads, which are common in UK and international plumbing standards. US garden hoses typically use GHT (Garden Hose Thread) fittings, which are a different standard. Compatibility depends on your existing fittings — check your thread standard before ordering, or contact us for guidance on adapters.

Stainless steel BSP hose tail fittings are generally suitable for compressed air lines when used with hose rated for pneumatic pressure. Ensure all fittings and hose in the system are rated for your operating pressure and temperature. Contact us to confirm suitability for your specific pneumatic setup before installation.
