Description
Turn the hose at the connection
Bring a hose away from a compatible threaded port at a 90° angle with this black plastic elbow.
It combines a 20mm barbed hosetail with a ¾-inch BSP male thread. Match both ends to your hose and equipment before ordering.
One elbow supplied. Hose, clips and pump are separate.
Two ends. Two sizing conventions.
The 20mm hosetail connects to a suitable hose, while the ¾-inch BSP male thread connects to a matching female port.
The thread’s outside diameter is approximately 26.4mm. That is consistent with its nominal BSP size; it does not mean the hose end takes 26mm hose.
The dimension image also shows an approximately 35mm hosetail section. Use these reference dimensions to plan space for the connection, alongside the hose and equipment instructions.
Make room for the hose beyond the bend
Check both connections and the route before assembling.
Match the port
Confirm a compatible ¾-inch BSP female connection and its sealing method. The elbow is a fixed 90° fitting, rather than a swivel. Leave enough space for it to be fitted in the required direction.
Support the hose
Use hose suited to the 20mm hosetail and allow a broad curve beyond it. Avoid a run that pulls sideways on the body or places the hose’s weight on the threaded port.
Inspect both joints
Use suitable securing and sealing parts where required. Follow the equipment’s tightening guidance for plastic fittings, then check with water before concealing the connection. Keep the joint accessible for later inspection.
Questions about this elbow
Will a ¾-inch thread measure 19mm across?
No. The ¾-inch BSP label is a nominal pipe-thread size, not its outside diameter. This thread is approximately 26.4mm across the outside, as illustrated in the dimension photograph. Check for a compatible ¾-inch BSP female port and the correct sealing arrangement. Do not use the hose bore or a ruler reading of 19mm to identify this thread.
Does 20mm mean the hose outside diameter?
No. 20mm identifies the nominal barbed hose connection. Match it to the hose’s internal bore and construction; the hose wall makes its outside larger. Nominal ¾-inch hose descriptions can also differ between products, so an inch label alone does not prove a fit. Check the hose and equipment specifications rather than forcing a mismatched connection.
Is the elbow supplied with a pump or hose?
No. This listing is for one elbow connector. The dimension photograph identifies its barbed and threaded connections; the garden image is illustrative. A pump, hose and hose clips are not included. Select suitable connection parts for the equipment you already have, and check whether its instructions call for a particular seal or securing method.
Do I need a hose clip or thread seal?
That depends on the hose, port and operating conditions. Follow the equipment and hose fitting instructions for securing and sealing both joints; do not assume that a barb alone makes every installation leak-proof. Avoid overtightening the plastic body, support the hose, and inspect with water before covering the connection or leaving the system unattended.

What is BSP?
What is BSP thread size?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a nominal pipe-thread size, not a direct measurement of a fitting’s bore or outside diameter. For example, a ½-inch BSP male thread measures about 21mm across its outer thread crests.
These figures are approximate outside diameters of male BSP threads, to help identify the nominal size. They are not inch-to-millimetre unit conversions:
- 3/8" BSP → 16.66 mm
- 1/2" BSP → 20.95 mm
- 3/4" BSP → 26.44 mm
- 1" BSP → 33.25 mm
- 1.25" BSP → 41.91 mm
- 1.5" BSP → 47.80 mm
- 2" BSP → 59.61 mm
- 3" BSP → 87.88 mm
- 4" BSP → 113.03 mm
All our BSP threads are parallel (BSPP, to ISO 228), not tapered.
Measure across the outside of a male thread, then check its pitch and whether it is parallel or tapered. Diameter alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the product’s stated thread specification before connecting.
