Bk 102-303 Hose Bibb 1/2 Inch Mip Male Hose Thread Brass

Product Description

The BK 102-303 is a solid brass hose bibb designed to provide a reliable shutoff point between a water supply line and a garden hose connection. Featuring a 1/2-inch male iron pipe (MIP) inlet and a male hose thread outlet, this bibb is built with an anti-kink design that reduces hose stress at the connection point during operation. The tee-style handle allows for easy manual operation without tools. Solid brass construction resists corrosion and stands up to typical residential outdoor water service conditions. Plumbers and general contractors install this type of fitting in both new construction and replacement applications.

This hose bibb is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a threaded wall or pipe stub-out requires a hose outlet. The 1/2-inch MIP inlet threads directly onto a standard male iron pipe fitting or nipple. The male hose thread outlet accepts standard garden hose connections. Typical installations include exterior wall-mount service points, utility rooms, and equipment wash-down locations. The tee handle design is appropriate for frequent on-off cycling in service environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hose bibb for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using 1/2-inch MIP threaded pipe connections and standard male hose thread outlets.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing any existing bibb or fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to the MIP threads before installation. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as excess torque can crack the body or distort the seat.
