Description
A ¾-inch supply connection. A tail for ½-inch hose.
This Bradas brass bib tap joins a ¾-inch BSP female supply fitting. Its supplied ribbed tail takes 13mm-bore hose, so you can use the larger supply connection with a familiar garden hose size.
BR-KBA3434 · brass body · T-bar handle
One tap and removable hose tail supplied. Mounting fittings, hose and clips are separate.
Check the supply thread before replacing a tap
The rear connection is ¾-inch BSP male. It screws into a matching female BSP fitting; a different supply connection needs a suitable adapter.
BSP sizes are nominal thread designations, rather than a ruler measurement across the thread. A tap with a ¾-inch inlet is not interchangeable with a ½-inch-inlet tap just because both can take ½-inch hose.
Allow room for the T-bar to turn and for a hose or watering can beneath the spout. The wall plate or other support for your water supply is separate.
Use the supplied tail, or change the outlet connection
The ½-inch hose tail is for hose with an internal bore of approximately 13mm. Push suitable hose over its ribs and secure it with an appropriate clip.
The winged collar unscrews from the ¾-inch BSP male spout. If you need a click-fit hose connection instead, choose a compatible male quick-connect fitting that matches this thread and the outlet's sealing arrangement.
A garden female click-fit connector will not click onto the supplied ribbed tail. The tail is designed for hose attached directly to it.
Three checks for a tidy installation
Match each connection and leave the tap free to operate.
Match and support the inlet
Isolate the water before fitting. Check the mating BSP thread and its required sealing method. Support the supply fitting while installing the tap.
Fit the hose securely
Choose suitable 13mm-bore hose and a securing clip. Leave enough slack that moving the hose does not pull against the spout or twist the supply joint.
Check the finished joints
Restore the water gradually and check for leaks at the supply and hose connections. Isolate and drain exposed outdoor fittings ahead of freezing conditions.
Questions about this ¾-inch BSP bib tap
Does the ¾-inch inlet mean I need ¾-inch hose?
No. The inlet is a ¾-inch BSP supply thread. The supplied hose tail is for ½-inch-bore hose, approximately 13mm internally. Thread size and hose bore refer to different parts of the tap.
What thread is beneath the removable hose tail?
The spout has a ¾-inch BSP male outlet. Match any replacement outlet fitting to that thread and its sealing arrangement.
Can I connect a click-fit garden hose connector directly?
Not to the ribbed tail. For click-fit use, replace the supplied tail with a compatible male quick-connect fitting matched to the ¾-inch BSP spout.
What arrives with the tap?
One Bradas brass bib tap with T-bar handle and removable hose-tail fitting. Hose, clips, wall plate, supply adapters and sealing materials are separate.

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.
