Description
A traditional brass tap for a 19mm hose connection
This polished brass bib tap combines a familiar curved spout and T-bar handle with a 19mm barbed hose outlet. It is the version to consider when your hose setup needs that larger direct hosetail connection.
The water-supply side uses a ½-inch BSP male inlet. Match it to a suitable female fitting, then choose hose and retention for the separate 19mm outlet.
One tap with hosetail supplied. The hose, clip and wall plate shown in the illustration are separate installation accessories.
Choose by the hose outlet and the supply thread
The 19mm hosetail is the ridged part at the end of the spout. Suitable flexible hose fits over those ridges and needs retention appropriate to the hose and installation. Check the hose bore, rather than its outside diameter alone.
The ½-inch BSP inlet is at the back of the tap. This is a nominal plumbing thread size and does not describe the hose bore. A measured thread diameter will not be the same as the named ½-inch size.
This tap does not have a male quick-connect plug. If your hose ends in a clip-on garden connector, check the connection arrangement you need before ordering.
Give the tap a suitable connection and support
Check the female thread, sealing arrangement and mounting at the existing water point. A separate wall plate or adapter may be needed; the tap is not supplied as a complete wall-mounting or tank-outlet kit.
Keep space around the T-bar so it can be turned, and beneath the spout for the hose to bend comfortably. Support the connected hose so its weight and movement do not pull on the tap or supply joint.
For a water butt or tank, check the outlet and adapter requirements individually. The ½-inch BSP inlet is not a guarantee of compatibility with every tank opening.
Prepare the complete hose connection
Check the separate installation parts as well as the tap itself.
Match both ends
Confirm a suitable ½-inch BSP female supply fitting and hose for the 19mm barb. Choose the sealing materials, mounting and hose retention for those connections.
Fit and check
Isolate the water before fitting. Avoid overtightening the joints, restore water gradually and check both connections while operating the handle.
Maintain the setup
Inspect the joints and hose retention during use. Drain exposed fittings before freezing weather; no frostproof performance or drinking-water approval is confirmed for this tap.
Questions about the 19mm brass bib tap
Does ½-inch BSP mean it takes ½-inch hose?
No. The ½-inch BSP size describes the male supply thread at the back. This version has a separate 19mm barbed hose outlet.
Can I use a clip-on hose connector?
The supplied outlet is a ridged hosetail, not a male quick-connect plug. Suitable flexible hose connects directly over the barb with appropriate retention.
Are the hose and wall plate in the illustration included?
No. One bib tap with hosetail is supplied. Hose, clips, wall plates, adapters and other mounting or sealing materials are sold separately.
What handle does this version have?
It has the T-bar turn handle shown in the product photos, controlling one downward-facing outlet.

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.
