Description
Overview:
The BSA Three Way Changeover Brass Tap is a compact fuel control valve for vintage BSA engines used on construction, agricultural, and garden machinery. Made from solid brass for strength and corrosion resistance, it is designed to manage petrol and paraffin supply with a positive three‐way action, allowing you to select between feeds or isolate flow during maintenance. Connections are a 1/4" BSP male (approx 13.16 mm thread outside diameter) and 6 mm spigot hose tails for flexible fuel lines. The lever-operated body offers simple, direct control with a durable mechanical action suited to workshop and field use. As unused old stock, it may show light tarnish from storage but remains fully functional for restoring and maintaining period BSA-powered equipment.
Key Features:
- Solid brass construction for durability and chemical resistance in petrol and paraffin use
- Three-way changeover design for select/alternate/isolate fuel routing on dual-fuel setups
- 1/4" BSP male thread (approx 13.16 mm OD) for standard fittings and secure installation
- 6 mm spigot hose tails for common small-bore fuel lines on vintage engines
- Lever-operated for quick, precise switching with clear tactile feedback
- Compact, serviceable form factor suited to confined engine bays and panels
- Reliable sealing surfaces to help reduce seepage when correctly installed with suitable washers
- Suitable for restoration tasks where correct period hardware and function are important
- Unused old stock: fully usable, with possible cosmetic tarnish only from storage
- Straightforward replacement for worn or leaking taps on compatible BSA units
Typical Applications:
Used on vintage BSA engines that require switching between petrol and paraffin, such as stationary power units, pumps, generators, and small plant. Ideal for restorations, routine maintenance, and repairs where accurate fuel selection and isolation are needed. Suitable for workshops, mobile repairs, and hobbyist projects maintaining classic machinery.
