Description
Overview:
The Brass Hexagon 1/2" BSP Female Nut and 3/8" Hose Tail Fitting (MPN 242 128) is a sturdy connector for linking flexible hose to a 1/2" BSP male thread in plumbing and fluid transfer systems. Made from solid brass, it offers reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in workshop, site, and garden environments. The assembly combines a 1/2" BSP female flat-seat nut (approx. 12.7 mm nominal) with a 3/8" hose tail (approx. 9.5 mm), giving a compact, secure transition from threaded pipework to hose. A flat seat with a leather sealing washer helps achieve a tight seal without over-tightening. Suitable for general-purpose water and fluid lines on construction and garden machinery, pumps, sprayers, compressors, and fixed plumbing where a robust, serviceable connection is required.
Key Features:
- 1/2" BSP female flat-seat nut (approx. 12.7 mm nominal) mates with standard BSP male fittings for broad compatibility
- 3/8" hose tail (approx. 9.5 mm) provides a positive grip on hose when used with a suitable clip or clamp
- Solid brass construction resists corrosion and wear for long-term reliability
- Hexagon nut profile allows easy tightening with a standard spanner for quick installation and removal
- Flat-seat design with leather sealing washer helps achieve a leak-tight joint without thread sealant on the mating face
- Compact, one-piece tail and nut arrangement reduces joints and potential leak points
- Suited to residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing and general fluid transfer duties
- Stable performance in typical site conditions and routine maintenance cycles
Typical Applications:
Connecting hoses to pumps, tanks, valves, and manifolds; running water or general service lines on site equipment; workshop plumbing hookups; garden irrigation and wash-down hoses; linking machinery coolant or drain hoses to fixed pipework. Ideal wherever a secure, serviceable hose-to-threaded connection is required.
