Description
Overview:
The Brass Hexagon 1/4" BSP Female Nut and 1/4" Hose Tail Fitting is a compact connector for joining flexible hose to a 1/4" BSP port in plumbing and workshop systems. Made from solid brass for strength and corrosion resistance, it uses a flat-seat design with a leather sealing washer to create a reliable seal against a matching male flat face. The barbed tail suits 1/4" (6.35 mm) hose, while the BSP female thread is 1/4" (approx. 13.2 mm thread outside diameter). The hexagon nut allows easy tightening with a spanner in tight spaces. Suitable for water and air services and other compatible non-corrosive fluids across domestic, commercial, and light industrial tasks. Manufacturer Part Number: 242 014.
Key Features:
- Robust brass construction for durability and corrosion resistance
- 1/4" BSP female nut (approx. 13.2 mm thread OD) with flat seat for secure sealing
- 1/4" (6.35 mm) barbed hose tail for a positive grip on hose when used with a clamp
- Leather sealing washer included for dependable, reusable leak prevention
- Hexagon profile for good spanner purchase and straightforward installation
- Compact, one-piece tail-and-nut arrangement helps reduce joint count and potential leak points
- Suited to water, air, and other compatible non-aggressive media; check fluid and hose compatibility
- Precision-machined faces to promote an even seal under moderate tightening torque
- Practical choice for service, repairs, and new builds in plumbing and workshop setups
Typical Applications:
