Hose Tails BSPT/NPT

Hose Tails BSPT/NPT – our hugely popular brass Air Pro range

Our Chelmsford store has a huge range of size variations in stock, all of which are available for collection or delivery. The threaded brass hose tail range extends to NPT threaded and Nickel plated although these are often ordered in on request. The brass threaded hose tails conform with ISO7.1, BS21 and DIN2999.

These particular brass fittings and often sealed with a form of thread sealant/lock or ptfe tape. Hoses are pushed on to the tail (barb) and secured commonly with a Jubilee clip, O clip or Mikalor clamp.

NOTE – BSP sizes do not match up with what you measure on the scale of a ruler, which can obviously cause some confusion. For example a 1/2″ BSP thread actually measures more like 3/4″ with a ruler. The size was originally based on the inside diameter which is measured in inches of a steel pipe for which the thread was intended. This is the source of the confusion, as people think the size refers to the outside diameter of the male thread.

Selecting the right size fitting, if you have any concerns about getting the correct size please feel free to call us on 01245 267381.
