Overview:
The Brass Hexagon 1/2" BSP Female Nut and 1/2" Hose Tail Fitting (MPN 242 012) is a robust connector for making reliable hose-to-pipe joints in plumbing and fluid transfer systems. Made from solid brass for strength and resistance to corrosion, it combines a 1/2" BSP female nut with a 1/2" (12.7 mm) hose tail. The flat-seat design, used with the supplied leather sealing washer, helps achieve a tight, leak‐resistant joint when mating to a compatible flat‐faced 1/2" BSP male outlet. The hexagon nut allows easy tightening with a standard spanner. This fitting is suitable for use across domestic, commercial and site applications, including connecting hoses to pumps, taps and valves on equipment such as pressure washers and water transfer systems.
