Brasscraft bc-hc-1x 3/4 Inch Brass Hose Cap

Product Description

The BRASSCRAFT bc-hc-1x is a lead-free brass hose cap designed to seal off threaded hose connections and outdoor faucet bibs. This fitting provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant closure for garden hose threads, preventing debris ingress and water loss when a connection is not in use. Constructed from lead-free brass, the cap meets current potable water compliance requirements, making it suitable for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this type of fitting as part of routine shutoff, winterization, and hose bib maintenance work.

The bc-hc-1x is used on standard 3/4 inch garden hose threaded outlets, including outdoor hose bibs, irrigation manifold ports, and laundry or utility sink connections. It is a practical component in seasonal winterization procedures, capping open hose bib outlets after backflow preventers or hose assemblies are removed. It also serves as a temporary closure during plumbing rough-in work.

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance standards
• Fits standard 3/4 inch garden hose thread (GHT) outlets
• Corrosion-resistant material suitable for outdoor and wet environments

Compatibility

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or experienced tradesperson should shut off the water supply and relieve any residual line pressure before installing or removing hose caps on pressurized systems. Thread the cap onto the hose bib outlet by hand, then snug with pliers if needed, taking care not to overtighten and damage the threads. Apply thread seal tape to the male threads if a watertight seal is required under pressure. Always verify local plumbing code requirements when installing fittings on potable water systems.
