The 3/4 inch BSP to 1/2 inch BSP Adapter is a 3D printed threaded adapter that connects 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch BSP threads, designed to attach to the end of a standard hose so that it can be adapted for different purposes. It is 3D printed using ABS plastic filament.
Usage Notes
There is no built-in sealing mechanism, so the connection will need PTFE tape, a liquid thread sealant (adhesive), or a rubber gasket. The 1/2 inch BSP thread is the same as is commonly used on shower heads, making this adapter useful for repurposing those hoses for other uses.
Field Ready develops manuals to support both the fabrication and safe use of its products. A maker manual provides step-by-step instructions for replicating the design, including materials, tools, and assembly guidance, so that makers in different locations can build the product accurately and consistently. A user manual, where applicable, explains how to properly set up, use, and maintain the product once it is built, helping ensure it performs safely and as intended for the end user. Together, these manuals make the design accessible to both fabricators and the people who ultimately rely on the product.
