Hansen describes the male hose tail as \"used for connecting female threads to flexible pipe and hose. Push on hose and use a hose clip to hold hose on. BSPT x Hose.\" The Hansen HHT has a tapered BSPT male thread (T1), a hex for a spanner and a barbed hose tail. It is moulded in New Zealand from glass fibre reinforced nylon, is rated up to 16 bar at 20°C in sizes up to 50mm, and is part of the True Fit range tested to AS\/NZS 4020:2018 for contact with drinking water.
