Overview:
The Brass Hexagon 3/8" BSP Female Nut and 1/4" Hose Tail Fitting (MPN 242 314) is a compact, durable union for making secure hose-to-thread connections on tools and machinery. Precision-machined from solid brass, it resists corrosion and routine wear in workshop and site use. The assembly combines a 3/8" BSP female hex nut (thread outside diameter approx 16.6 mm) with a 1/4" hose tail sized for 1/4" (6.35 mm) inside-diameter hose. A flat-seat arrangement with the included leather sealing washer provides a dependable, leak-tight joint when mated to a matching 3/8" BSP male flat-seat fitting. Suitable for water and air lines on construction equipment, garden machinery, compressors, sprayers, pressure washers, and general plumbing tasks where a robust, serviceable connection is required.
