Description
Overview:
The Brass 1/2" Male BSP Thread to 3/8" Hose Tail Fitting (MPN: 545 128) is a compact, general‐purpose plumbing component for linking flexible hose to a threaded port. Made from solid, corrosion‐resistant brass with hex flats for spanner tightening, it provides a durable interface where reliability matters. One end has a 1/2" (12.7 mm) male BSP thread for pipes, valves, manifolds, or equipment ports; the other is a 3/8" (9.5 mm) tail sized for flexible hose. It is well suited to fluid handling on construction and garden machinery, water pumps, compressors, generators, and workshop setups. When installed with suitable thread sealant and a quality hose clamp, it offers a robust, serviceable connection for water, air, and light oils in everyday maintenance and repair tasks.
Key Features:
- High‐quality brass construction resists corrosion and wear in workshop and outdoor environments
- 1/2" (12.7 mm) male BSP thread to 3/8" (9.5 mm) tail for straightforward hose‐to‐pipe transitions
- Precision‐machined barbs help grip the hose for a reliable seal when clamped
- Hex body allows easy tightening with a spanner for consistent installation
- Compact form factor helps in tight spaces on machines and plant equipment
- Suitable for water, air, and light oil transfer in general service applications
- Stable performance across a wide range of ambient conditions
- Simple to fit and remove for routine maintenance, upgrades, and repairs
Typical Applications:
Commonly used on pumps, pressure feed lines, coolant or return lines, air supply hook‐ups, irrigation and wash‐down points, small tanks, and test rigs. Useful on construction machinery, generators, compressors, and garden equipment where a 1/2" BSP male port must accept a 3/8" (9.5 mm ID) flexible hose. Suitable for general fluid transfer and low to medium service duties.
