Description
Overview:
The Brass Bibcock Tap - 1/2" Male to 1/2" Garden Hose is a durable outdoor tap for connecting a standard hose to a mains water feed. Made from solid, corrosion‐resistant brass, it stands up well to rain, mud, and regular use. The inlet is a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) male thread, and the outlet suits 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) garden hose, giving a secure, reliable connection for watering and wash‐down. The hand-operated valve gives clear on/off control for efficient water use. Suitable for domestic gardens, allotments, workshops, and site standpipes, it integrates easily with sprinklers, soaker hoses, and timers using common hose accessories. Identified by MPN HU12 and cross-referenced as 290069, it's a practical choice for replacing a worn outside tap or building a new hose point.
