Description
Overview:
The Brass 1/4" Male BSP Thread to 3/16" Hose Tail (MPN 545 143) is a compact connector for joining flexible hose to a threaded port on tools, machines, and fixed pipework. Made from solid brass for strength and corrosion resistance, it delivers a reliable, leak‐resistant joint when used with a suitable hose clamp. The male thread is 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) BSP, and the hose tail suits 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) internal diameter hose. Typical uses include workshop air lines, coolant and water feeds, light oil transfer, and general-purpose fluid handling on compressors, pumps, small plant, and garden machinery. The hex body allows easy tightening with a spanner for a secure seal in confined spaces and service areas.
Key Features:
- Durable brass construction for long service life and good resistance to corrosion in workshop and outdoor settings
- 1/4" (6.35 mm) male BSP thread for straightforward connection to standard valves, manifolds, and pipe fittings
- 3/16" (4.76 mm) barbed hose tail provides a firm grip on hose for a dependable, leak‐resistant joint

- Smooth, compact form factor keeps assemblies tidy and reduces snagging in tight spaces
- Suitable for common fluids such as air, water, and light oils in low to medium pressure services
- Reusable fitting; simply refit with an appropriate worm-drive or ear clamp when servicing hoses
- Precision-machined for consistent fit and reliable sealing performance in everyday use
- Reference: MPN 545 143 for easy identification and stock control
Typical Applications:
Connecting 3/16" (4.76 mm) hose to 1/4" (6.35 mm) BSP ports on compressors, pumps, spray equipment, test rigs, coolant lines, and general workshop jigs. Useful on small plant and garden machinery where compact, corrosion‐resistant hose connections are required for air, water, or light oil circuits.
