Description
A brass hose tap
A nickel-plated brass bib tap with a barbed hose outlet and a metal turn handle.
Pair the tank-side adapter with the hose size you use. Two kit options cover different connections.
Brass adapter, tap and PTFE tape supplied.
¾-inch tank connection, ½-inch hose
Select ¾-inch BSP for kit WB12-BRASS-KIT-011+. Its brass tank adapter has a ¾-inch BSP male external thread and a ½-inch BSP female internal thread.
The matching tap has a ½-inch BSP male inlet and a ½-inch hose barb. That barb fits hose by its internal bore: nominally 13mm.
The actual kit contents are shown here. The adapter comes with its back nut and two washers; one PTFE roll is included.
1-inch tank connection, ¾-inch hose
Select 1-inch BSP for kit WB34-BRASS-KIT-021+. This adapter has a 1-inch BSP male external thread and a ¾-inch BSP female internal thread.
It comes with a tap that has a ¾-inch BSP male inlet and a ¾-inch hose barb, for nominally 19mm internal-diameter hose.
This option changes the tap and hose connection as well as the tank adapter. Choose it to match your fittings, rather than assuming that both kits take the same hose.
Plan the connections before you fit
Check the tank, the hose bore and room to operate the handle.
Start at the tank
Match an existing female outlet to the adapter’s external male thread. For a new opening, check the tank wall, washer seating and access for the back nut. BSP sizes are thread names, not drill diameters.
Match the hose bore
Use hose with the corresponding internal diameter: ½ inch for the smaller kit or ¾ inch for the larger kit. The outlet is a barb, not a quick-connect nipple. Choose suitable hose clips where needed.
Leave working space
Allow clearance to turn the handle and fit the hose. Support the hose so it does not pull on the outlet. Check the mounting seal and threaded joints with water once the assembly is fitted.
Questions about the barbed tap kits
Do both adapter sizes take the same hose?
No. The ¾-inch BSP adapter option includes a tap with a nominal ½-inch hose barb, for approximately 13mm internal-diameter hose. The 1-inch BSP adapter option includes a nominal ¾-inch hose barb, for approximately 19mm internal-diameter hose. Check both the tank connection and your hose bore.
Will a quick-connect hose fitting click onto this tap?
The supplied outlet is a barbed hosetail for hose to slide over, rather than a male quick-connect nipple. A female quick connector will not click directly onto that barb. If you want a click-on connection, choose a tap kit designed with the appropriate quick-connect outlet instead.
Does the adapter size describe the tap inlet?
The option describes the tank-side male thread. In the ¾-inch BSP option, the adapter reduces to a ½-inch BSP female thread for the ½-inch male-inlet tap. In the 1-inch BSP option, it reduces to a ¾-inch BSP female thread for the ¾-inch male-inlet tap. The supplied tap matches the adapter.
What is supplied, and what do I need separately?
Each selected kit contains one brass tank adapter with a back nut and two washers, one nickel-plated brass bib tap with its barbed outlet fitting, and one PTFE roll. Supply your own tank, correctly sized hose and any suitable hose clips or fitting tools. Check mounting access and hose support before starting.

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.
