What is this connector used for?
This connector adapts ½" BSPT male threads to 8 mm hose. It is most commonly used to install a Tefen Vacuum Release Valve or to connect a water line directly to a Compact Mains Pressure Drinker.
Is thread tape required on the BSPT thread?
Yes. To ensure a leak-proof seal, always use plumber’s thread tape on the ½" BSPT male thread before installation.
Can this be used with gravity systems?
Yes, while most commonly used in mains pressure lines, this fitting can also be used in low-pressure or gravity-fed systems where ½" BSPT threading is present.
Is any tool required for installation?
No tools are typically needed to install the hose into the 8 mm barb. However, a spanner may be used on the hex to tighten the BSPT side if required. Always test your system for leaks before use.
