Description
Lime fittings for garden watering
The Bradas Lime Line four-piece hose set puts a straight nozzle, two hose connectors and a tap adaptor together in lime green and grey. Add your chosen hose to reach the pots, borders or vegetable beds you want to water.
The connectors fit ½-inch or ⅝-inch nominal hose. A standard connector serves the tap end, while the STOP connector belongs at the nozzle end so it can close the flow when the nozzle is unplugged.
Four fittings supplied, without hose. Check your hose size and tap thread before ordering.
Check the tap as well as the hose
The adaptor’s female thread screws onto a matching male tap outlet. Keep its reducer fitted for ¾-inch BSP or remove the reducer for 1-inch BSP. The quick-connect plug at the other end clips into the standard hose connector.
The tap thread and hose size are different measurements: a ½-inch hose does not mean that the tap needs a ½-inch BSP fitting. BSP names are nominal sizes, so they also differ from the measured diameter across the thread.
Check the tap specification or an existing matching fitting. Start the adaptor straight, make sure its seal is in place and hand-tighten before checking the connection with water flowing.
Connect, water and put away
Fit the hose with the tap off, then bring the water on gradually to check each joint.
Grip the hose ends
Use undamaged, square-cut hose ends. Pass a securing nut over each end, seat the hose fully in the connector and tighten the nut. Put the standard connector at the tap and the STOP connector at the working end.
Choose the spray
Clip the nozzle into the STOP connector. Turn the lime tip against the grey grip to adjust the spray, starting gently around plants and increasing the focus when you need to rinse an outdoor surface.
Finish at the tap
The STOP fitting closes when the nozzle is removed, but turn the tap off after use. Release the remaining pressure, drain the hose and fittings and keep them clear of freezing water during storage.
Questions about the Lime Line set
Are the hose and tap included?
No. The set contains the adjustable straight nozzle, standard hose connector, STOP hose connector and tap adaptor only. Choose your hose separately and check that your tap has a matching threaded outlet.
Will it fit a ¾-inch hose?
No. These hose connectors are for ½-inch or ⅝-inch nominal hose. The ¾-inch size in the tap specification refers to the BSP thread on the adaptor, not the hose bore.
What does the STOP connector do?
Its internal valve closes the flow when the nozzle is disconnected. Fit it at the nozzle end of the hose and use the standard connector at the tap. Turn off the tap when watering is finished.
How do I select the tap size?
Leave the reducer fitted for a ¾-inch BSP male tap outlet. Remove it for a 1-inch BSP male outlet. An unthreaded spout or another thread size needs a different adaptor.

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.
