Female BSP 4'' serrated fitting - male straight barbed 101.5mm

The female BSP 4'' serrated fitting - male straight barbed 101.5mm (Reference: 100222) from CPP brand represents a leading technical solution for all your professional connection needs. This specialized fitting offers a perfect transition between a 4-inch female BSP thread and a 101.5mm straight male barbed outlet, thus guaranteeing optimal compatibility with IBC tank systems and modern industrial installations.

Applications and advantages in professional environments

This serrated fitting finds its application in many business sectors. Agricultural operations use it to connect their water storage tanks or phytosanitary product tanks to irrigation systems. In industry, it facilitates the transfer of non-corrosive fluids between tanks and distribution lines. Water treatment companies appreciate its reliability for their temporary storage installations. Its barbed design ensures maximum grip with flexible hoses, eliminating the risk of accidental disconnection even under moderate pressure.

The main advantage lies in its versatility: a single piece allows you to switch from a British BSP thread standard to a universal barbed connection. This feature considerably reduces stock costs and simplifies maintenance of existing installations.

High-performance polypropylene construction

Manufacturing in polypropylene gives this fitting exceptional chemical and mechanical resistance properties. This thermoplastic material perfectly withstands the temperature variations encountered in common applications, from -20°C to +80°C without alteration of its sealing properties. Its molecular structure makes it naturally resistant to most weak acids, bases and organic solvents commonly handled in industrial environments.

The 4-inch female BSP thread strictly complies with British standards, guaranteeing perfect compatibility with all certified equipment. The barbs on the male part are machined with millimetric precision to ensure optimal hose retention. The 101.5mm length provides sufficient contact surface for durable sealing, even in case of slight dimensional variations in the hoses used.

Installation and practical usage tips

Installing this serrated fitting requires no specialized tools. The female BSP thread screws directly onto the corresponding male outlet of your tank or equipment. It is recommended to use an appropriate seal (flat gasket or sealing paste) on the thread to guarantee perfect sealing. Tightening should be done by hand then completed with a wrench, without excess to avoid damaging the polypropylene.

For the barbed side connection, simply slide your flexible hose over the barbs until it stops. Using a clamp adapted to the 101.5mm outside diameter is strongly recommended to permanently secure the assembly. Regularly check the condition of the clamps and replace them if necessary to maintain sealing over time.

In terms of maintenance, periodic cleaning with clear water is sufficient. For applications with fluids likely to leave deposits, annual disassembly allows thorough cleaning and verification of the condition of sealing surfaces.
