3/4" Bibcock output thread size ?

Dec 23, 2017 6 Replies

I have some 3/4" brass bibcocks on the way to me - these are the bigger version for a stand pipe (the more usual 1/2" ones are 1/2" BSP input and



3/4" BSP where the water comes out)

Try as I may I cannot find the thread specification for the output side of these bigger taps. Not yet to hand but I'd guess at 1" BSP logically



I want to get male Hozelock Q/D fittings onto the taps but bigger ones are proving elusive. If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated if you could share it!



Cheers,



Andrew



You need to measure threads and compare with sizes here:

A 3/4" BSP fitting has a thread > 1"

For an example of a reducer 1/2"M x 3/4"F:

I would hope you can get one locally, or with a better price on postage!

When they arrive I have absolutely no problem measuring them but they haven't arrived !!!!!

Ah yes, that might help.

Can you supply a manufacturer's part number?

I'm pretty sure the tap will be 3/4" BSP.

If you want to match this to Hoselock items:

I've met 7/8" - but I've led a sheltered life as an office wallah so that counts for little. I certainly don't suggest it is a (let alone _the_) standard.

I think reducers to 3/4" can be bought - or contrived by cunning artificers :)

Still not got them but I'm pretty sure that they are indeed 1" BSP on the outflow side - sufficiently convince to buy the Hozelock male fitting for 1" BSP which is significantly more expensive that the 1/2 and 3/4 sizes:

very probably given my history for being wrong :)

That's about half what my brother tells me the 7/8" equivalent cost his allotment club - albeit they bought locally. (That also reminded made belatedly that 1" BSP is 11 tpi while 3/4 and 7/8" are 14 which might have helped if you'd a photo of the tap.)
