It allows a compact transition between the beverage line and the head without using a set of intermediate fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to select and check compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck two data points before installing it: the actual outside diameter of the tube must be 3\/8\" and the connection on the coupler must correspond to 1\/2 BSP. You should not select a thread by visual similarity, since BSP, NPTF, FFL and MFL are not equivalent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePractical use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is used mainly in beer and other beverage lines where a quick tube connection next to the keg coupler is desirable. A direct installation makes future disassembly, cleaning, or line replacement easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut the tube straight and square, without burrs or deformation. Insert the tube fully to the stop of the push-fit connection and assemble the threaded part without forcing. Before putting the system into service, check that there is no lateral stress on the fitting and perform a leak test.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance and troubleshooting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring maintenance, check that the tube retains its shape, that the connection is not under strain, and that the threaded joint remains stable. If a leak appears, first check the cut, insertion, tube size, and thread type before replacing components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it suitable for 8 mm tube?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. This reference is intended for 3\/8\" (9.5 mm) tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it with any keg coupler?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly when the coupler connection is compatible with 1\/2\" BSP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a tool required to connect the tube?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe push-fit connection is made by inserting the properly prepared tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I check if it leaks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat the tube is cut square, fully inserted, and that the assembled thread matches the correct standard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Guest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15521543159871,"sku":"IB0020","price":5.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0339\/9513\/files\/Adaptador-de-cabezal-para-cerveza-38-x-12-Rosca-laton-BSP.webp?v=1697722267","url":"https:\/\/installbeer.com\/en-gb\/products\/beer-tap-head-adapter-brass-thread-bsp-john-guest","provider":"Install Beer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
