Male Barbed Fitting 3'' BSP - Male Ribbed Straight 75mm

The male barbed fitting 3'' BSP - male ribbed straight 75mm (Reference: 100226) from CPP brand represents the ideal solution for your mixed connections requiring on one hand a 3-inch BSP thread and on the other hand a ribbed fitting of 75mm diameter. This professional polypropylene high-quality fitting guarantees perfect sealing and remarkable resistance to mechanical and chemical stresses.

Applications and advantages of the mixed BSP/ribbed fitting

This barbed fitting finds its place in numerous industrial and agricultural applications where connection versatility is paramount. It notably allows connecting IBC tanks equipped with 3-inch BSP caps to large diameter ribbed flexible hoses, thus creating a sealed and easily removable connection.

The main advantages include quick assembly thanks to the barbed system that fits directly onto the ribbed hose, sealing ensured by the precise geometry of the BSP thread, and the chemical resistance of polypropylene that allows use with a wide range of industrial, agricultural or food fluids.

In the agricultural sector, this fitting excels for high-capacity irrigation systems, liquid fertilizer storage tanks, and phytosanitary treatment installations. In industrial environments, it is perfectly suited for chemical product transfers, high-pressure washing systems, and rainwater recovery installations.

Technical specifications and materials

Manufactured in high-quality polypropylene, this fitting presents exceptional chemical resistance to acids, bases, solvents and petroleum products commonly used in industry. Polypropylene also offers excellent UV resistance, allowing outdoor use without premature degradation.

The 3-inch male BSP thread strictly complies with British Standard Pipe standards, guaranteeing perfect compatibility with all standardized equipment. Its tapered design ensures progressive sealing during tightening, without requiring additional gaskets in most applications.

The straight ribbed end of 75mm features precisely machined grooves that ensure optimal flexible hose retention. This studied geometry uniformly distributes mechanical stresses, avoiding local hose deformations and extending its service life.

The pressure resistance of this fitting allows its use in systems operating up to 10 bars, thus covering the majority of common applications. Its operating temperature range extends from -10°C to +60°C, suitable for European climatic conditions.

Installation and usage tips

Installing this barbed fitting requires a few essential precautions to guarantee perfect sealing and optimal longevity. Before assembly, check that the ribbed hose end is clean, without burrs or deformations that could compromise sealing.

For the BSP side connection, apply a film of sealing paste or teflon on the first threads, avoiding putting it on the first two or three threads to avoid risk of fluid contamination. Screw manually until bottomed out, then tighten an additional quarter to half turn using an appropriate wrench.

On the ribbed side, push the flexible hose until bottomed out on the fitting, checking that all grooves are properly engaged. Then install a clamp adapted to the diameter, respecting the tightening torque recommended by the clamp manufacturer to avoid crushing the hose.

For maintenance, perform a periodic visual inspection of connections, particularly after freeze/thaw periods which can generate significant stresses. Immediately replace any fitting showing cracks, deformations or signs of material fatigue.
