Bronze 1 1/4in BSP x 32mm 90-Degree Elbow Hose Tail for Marine Plumbing RWB1496
Bronze 1 1/4in BSP x 32mm 90-Degree Elbow Hose Tail for Marine Plumbing
This gunmetal bronze hose tail connects a 1 1/4 inch male BSP thread to a 32mm barbed hose end. It is intended to bridge the threaded and flexible-hose parts of a matched marine plumbing assembly. The 90-degree elbow changes the direction of the hose connection close to the threaded component. This can be useful when the hose needs to turn rather than leave a valve in a straight line. The two sizes describe different ends of the fitting and need to be checked separately: the inch size identifies the BSP connection, while the millimetre figure identifies the hose barb. Choosing this exact combination helps avoid substituting a fitting with a similar nominal thread but a different hose-tail dimension. The fitting is a connection component, so the hose, valve and fastening arrangement must also be suitable for the proposed service.
Choosing and using this product
Compare the 1 1/4 inch male BSP end with the female thread on the receiving valve or equipment. Check thread form and the recommended sealing method rather than assuming that similar-looking threads will mate correctly. Match the 32mm hose-tail end to the hose specification and verify that the hose can be fully seated without forcing or damaging it. Plan enough room for the hose, the clamp position and access to tighten and inspect the connection. Confirm the elbow direction before completing the threaded joint, checking that its bend leaves room for the hose and clamping hardware without pressing against a bulkhead or neighbouring equipment. Support the connected hose so movement and weight do not pull against the threaded joint. Obtain any required pressure, temperature or fluid-compatibility limits before selecting the fitting for demanding service. After assembly, test the connection using the procedure appropriate to the complete system and inspect both the threaded and hose ends for leakage.
