Bk 103-003 Hose Bibb 1/2 in Mip X 3/4 in Male Hose Thread

Product Description

The BK 103-003 is a brass hose bibb designed for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It features a 1/2 inch male iron pipe (MIP) inlet and a 3/4 inch male hose thread outlet, making it a straightforward shutoff and connection point for outdoor or utility water supply lines. The body is constructed from brass with a neoprene seal disc that provides a reliable, drip-resistant shutoff. This fitting is sold individually and is a standard item for plumbers and pipefitters handling hose bibb installations or replacements.

This hose bibb is suited for outdoor faucet installations, utility connections, and similar residential or light commercial water supply applications. It connects 1/2 inch MIP threaded pipe supply lines to 3/4 inch male hose thread outlets, allowing attachment of standard garden hoses or washing machine supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting during new construction rough-in or when replacing a worn or leaking hose bibb at an existing supply stub-out.

Key Features

• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance and durability in water service
• Neoprene seal disc provides a positive, drip-resistant shutoff
• 1/2 inch MIP inlet threads onto standard iron pipe supply lines
• 3/4 inch male hose thread outlet accepts standard garden hose fittings
• Sold individually — one fitting per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation hose bibb for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using 1/2 inch MIP supply connections and 3/4 inch 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 the existing fitting or threading the new bibb onto the supply stub-out. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten — hand-tight plus a controlled turn with a wrench is sufficient to seat the fitting without cracking the brass body.
