Specifications and features Hose tail size: 16 mm Thread size: 1/2' BSP male Material: Iron Finish: Color plating for added protection Application: Suitable for joining hoses to 1/2' BSP threaded outlets or fittings Applications and use cases Garden irrigation and outdoor hose connections: connect a 16 mm hose to a 1/2' BSP male outlet on taps, manifolds, or sprinklers. Plumbing and fluid transfer: link 16 mm hoses to 1/2' BSP male ports on inline filters, regulators, or valves in residential or light commercial setups. Workshop and maintenance projects: splice or extend 16 mm hoses to equipment or fixtures that use 1/2' BSP threaded connections. Installation tips Inspect threads and hose tail for damage before installation. Clean threads on both components to ensure a good seal. Apply PTFE tape or appropriate thread sealant to the 1/2' BSP male threads if a seal is required. Handtighten first, then use a wrench to snug the connection. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage. If a hose clamp is appropriate for the hose, fit and tighten it to ensure a secure, leak fit. Notes This fitting is designed for standard 1/2' BSP male connections and 16 mm hose tails. Verify that your components match these specifications before installation. Color plating provides corrosion resistance, but regular inspection and maintenance are advised in harsh or outdoor environments.
