Description
Overview:
The Brass Hexagon 3/4" BSP Female Nut and 1/2" Hose Tail Fitting is a solid brass adaptor for joining flexible hose to threaded pipework. Built from corrosion‐resistant brass for long service life, it combines a 3/4" BSP female nut (3/4 inch ≈ 19.05 mm nominal) with a 1/2" hose tail (1/2 inch ≈ 12.7 mm). A flat seat and supplied leather sealing washer help form a tight, reliable seal when mating to a male BSP fitting. The hexagon nut allows firm tightening with standard spanners for a secure, leak‐resistant joint. Supplied under MPN 242 312, it suits plumbing, irrigation, and general workshop use on equipment such as water pumps, compressors, sprayers, and plant washdown systems in both residential and commercial settings.
