Bk 102-403 No-kink Hose Bibb 1/2 in Fip X 3/4 in Mht Brass

Product Description

The BK 102-403 is a solid brass no-kink hose bibb designed to provide a secure, kink-resistant connection between a water supply line and a standard garden hose. It features a 1/2 inch female iron pipe (FIP) inlet and a 3/4 inch male hose thread (MHT) outlet. The angled design of a no-kink bibb reduces stress on the hose at the connection point, extending hose life and maintaining consistent flow. A brass tee handle allows for straightforward on/off operation without requiring a tool. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers in residential and light commercial applications.

This hose bibb is suited for outdoor water supply connections where a standard garden hose will be attached. Typical installations include exterior wall mount locations fed by a 1/2 inch threaded supply line. The 3/4 inch male hose thread outlet accepts standard garden hose fittings. The no-kink geometry is particularly useful in situations where the hose runs at a sharp angle from the valve body, such as close-clearance wall installations.

Key Features

• No-kink outlet design reduces hose wear and maintains consistent water flow
• Solid brass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• 1/2 inch FIP inlet connects to standard threaded supply lines
• 3/4 inch male hose thread outlet accepts standard garden hose couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hose bibb for residential and light commercial plumbing systems with a 1/2 inch female iron pipe supply connection and standard 3/4 inch garden hose outlet requirements.

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 to all male threaded connections before assembly. Do not overtighten the hose thread outlet connection, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
