Description
Ready for the hose
Make the tap end of your watering setup simple. This grey ¾-inch BSP female tap adapter screws onto a matching male threaded tap and leaves a garden quick-connect plug ready for your hose.
With the threaded adapter in place, you can connect and remove the hose at its separate female socket. There is no need to undo the tap thread whenever you finish watering or change equipment.
One plastic tap adapter supplied. Tap, hose and female hose connector are separate.
Check both connections
The broad ribbed cup is the tap end. Its female inlet needs a matching ¾-inch BSP male outlet; this version has no reducing insert for a smaller thread.
The orange-ringed plug at the other end enters a compatible female garden hose socket. It does not grip bare hose. The locking and release mechanism belongs to that separate socket, rather than to the grey ribbed cup.
BSP describes the tap thread, not the hose bore. The optional WHITE LINE connector above is for ½-inch hose; choose your hose-end fitting by its hose size as well as the plug profile.
A straightforward tap-end setup
Match the tap
Close the tap and check the thread and sealing surfaces. Start the adapter squarely by hand, holding the ribbed cup. Do not force a mismatched thread or overtighten the plastic body.
Connect the hose socket
Keep the plug ring and mating socket clean. Seat the socket fully, then turn on the water gradually and check the joint. Support the hose so it does not pull sideways on the fitting.
Disconnect after use
Close the tap and release pressure before operating the female socket’s release sleeve. Leave the threaded adapter in place if required, and drain the hose and fittings before freezing weather.
Before you choose your adapter
Does ¾-inch BSP mean it fits ¾-inch hose?
No. The BSP size describes the threaded tap connection. The separate female hose socket must suit your hose’s internal diameter and this male garden plug.
Can it fit a smooth or ½-inch BSP tap?
This adapter needs a matching ¾-inch BSP male threaded tap outlet. It is not a clamp-on adapter and does not include a smaller-thread insert.
Is a female hose connector included?
No. You receive one grey tap adapter. The optional hose connector, hose and tap are sold separately.
Will it stop the water when I remove the hose?
No. The adapter has no shut-off valve. Close the tap and release pressure before disconnecting your female hose socket.

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.
