Robox Design 5/8 BSP Solid Brass Tap Connector

• This connector is for the 5/8 BSP nominal thread standard, which is not the same as measuring 5/8 inch physically. Please measure your tap or reel inlet thread before purchase to ensure a match
• The Solution for Older Wall Taps: Solves the common problem of non-fitting connectors on vintage UK outdoor wall taps (bib taps) that feature the rare and non-standard 5/8 BSP thread size.
• Dual-Purpose: Also works perfectly for Hozelock Hose Reels and Carts that use a 5/8 BSP female thread on the drum inlet, allowing you to connect a feeder hose.
• Quick Sizing Check: For the correct 5/8 BSP fit, the outer thread diameter of your tap or reel inlet should measure approximately 22mm (or 13/16 inch). Reference this physical measurement carefully.
• Premium Solid Brass Construction: CNC-machined from robust, high-grade brass. Superior to plastic, it resists UV damage, cracking, and provides a guaranteed, permanent, leak-free quick-connect fitting.

The Robox Design 5/8 BSP Solid Brass Connector is a tap connector engineered to solve frustrating incompatibility issues associated with older British standard pipe threads on older or vintage taps. While modern UK garden taps are the 3/4 BSP size, many taps fitted before the widespread adoption of this size were commonly manufactured using the less-used 5/8 BSP thread. This size sits between the more common 1/2 BSP and 3/4 BSP size standards, so commonly avaiable sizes in DIY shops and garden centres don't fit older taps. The connector is precision CNC-machined from high-grade, solid brass, offering superior durability and performance compared to plastic alternatives which are prone to UV damage, cracking, and degradation in cold temperatures. The robust construction guarantees a secure, permanent, and leak-free seal. For user convenience and accurate fit, the thread includes a high-quality internal rubber washer and O-ring. Customers can confirm the correct sizing by measuring the outside diameter of their tap or reel inlet thread; for 5/8 BSP, this measurement should be approximately 22mm (or 13/16 inch).
