Description
A metal lever tap for a hose-fed garden
Connect a ¾-inch-bore hose to a garden tap with a matching ¾-inch BSP male inlet. The red lever gives you control at the supply point.
This tap has a nickel-plated zinc body, silver finish and ribbed hose tail.
One tap with barbed outlet supplied. Hose, clips and mounting fittings are separate.
Choose the hose by its inside diameter
The barbed outlet is intended for ¾-inch-bore hose, roughly 19mm internally. The hose slides over the ribbed tail; use a suitable clip and check the connection before watering.
A hose's outside diameter also includes its wall thickness. If your hose is labelled in millimetres, check whether that figure describes the bore or the outside of the hose.
This outlet is not a garden click-fit spigot. A female quick connector will not simply click onto the ribs; the supplied connection is for hose fitted directly over the tail.
Match the supply connection separately
The inlet has a ¾-inch BSP male thread. It needs the corresponding female fitting on your pipework, wall fitting or adapter. A BSP name is a nominal thread designation, so do not select a fitting solely by measuring ¾ inch across it.
Although both connections use a ¾-inch label, they describe different things: the inlet uses a BSP thread, while the outlet takes hose by its internal bore.
Use sealing materials appropriate to the threaded joint. Support the supply fitting during installation and avoid using the red lever as a handle for tightening the tap.
Set it up for comfortable watering
Check the connection, handle movement and hose support before use.
Isolate before fitting
Turn off the water supply before replacing a tap. Inspect the mating threads and sealing surfaces and start the connection by hand.
Secure the hose
Fit compatible hose over the barbed tail and secure it appropriately. Leave enough slack so movement of the hose cannot twist the tap or pull on its mounting.
Test and drain
Restore the supply gradually and check both joints while operating the lever. Isolate and drain exposed fittings before freezing weather; a plated finish does not make trapped water frost-safe.
Questions about this barbed lever tap
Is this a brass tap?
This model has a zinc body with nickel plating. Its silver appearance comes from the plated finish. The material is listed separately from the inlet and hose sizes in the technical details.
What size hose fits the barbed outlet?
Use suitable ¾-inch-bore hose, approximately 19mm internal diameter. Fit it over the ribbed tail and secure it with an appropriate clip. Check the hose's actual fit and condition before use.
Can I click a garden hose connector onto it?
The supplied outlet is barbed rather than a male garden quick-connect spigot. It takes hose directly over the tail; a female click-fit connector does not attach to it in the usual way.
Are hose and installation fittings included?
One lever tap with the pictured barbed outlet is supplied. Hose, securing clips, mounting fittings, adapters and sealing materials are separate. Choose those parts to suit your existing supply and hose.

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.
