Description
A polished hose tap
A polished brass bib tap with a curved spout and a male quick-connect hose outlet.
Keep the tap in place when the hose comes off. A traditional turn handle controls the supply.
Brass adapter and PTFE tape included.
The tank fitting stays in place
The kit pairs a ¾-inch BSP male / ½-inch BSP female brass adapter with a tap that has a ½-inch BSP male inlet. The actual contents are shown here: adapter with back nut and two washers, polished brass tap with its quick-connect fitting, and one PTFE roll.
A matching female receiving connector on your hose clips onto the male nipple below the spout. When you need to remove the hose, close the tap and release that connector; the tap and tank adapter remain fitted.
This is one kit, SKU WB12-BRASS-KIT-016+. The tank, hose, female hose connector and drilling tools are separate. The BSP sizes describe threaded connections, not hose bore.
Plan the tank and hose connections
Check the mounting point and leave space to connect, turn and release.
Match the tank outlet
Check the size and gender of an existing thread. For a new opening, check the tank wall, washer seating and access for the back nut first. A ¾-inch BSP thread name is not a drilling diameter.
Choose the hose connector
The tap supplies the male nipple. The receiving connector on your hose must match it and suit the hose size. A bare hose does not slide directly over this outlet as it would over a barbed hosetail.
Allow working space
Make room for the handle and the connector’s release collar beneath the spout. Support the hose, close the tap before disconnecting it and check the mounting seal and threaded joints with water after fitting.
Questions about this polished brass kit
Is the female connector for the hose included?
No. The tap has the male quick-connect nipple, while the female receiving connector that attaches to your hose is separate. Check that your receiving connector matches the nipple and that it fits your hose correctly. The kit also includes the brass tank adapter and one PTFE roll.
What size tank thread does this kit use?
The brass adapter has a ¾-inch BSP male external thread and a ½-inch BSP female internal thread. The supplied tap has a matching ½-inch BSP male inlet. This product supplies that one thread pairing; it does not offer a 1-inch tank adapter option. Check the tank connection before ordering.
Can I remove the hose without unscrewing the tap?
Yes. With a matching female hose connector, the hose releases from the male nipple while the tap and adapter remain on the tank. Close the tap first, then use the hose connector’s release mechanism. Leave room beneath the spout to operate it, and support the hose to avoid pulling on the fitting.
What parts come with the kit?
You receive one brass tank adapter with its back nut and two washers, one polished brass bib tap with the male quick-connect outlet fitting, and one PTFE tape roll. Tank, hose, female hose connector and drilling tools are separate. The tap uses a metal turn handle to control the water supply.

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.
