Nut and Tail Tap Connector – 3/4" BSP to 13mm Barb (Bag of 25)
Establishing a reliable connection between your main water source and your irrigation network is the foundation of a successful grow. Our Nut and Tail Tap Connectors provide a professional-grade transition from a standard 3/4" BSP threaded outdoor tap or manifold to 13mm low-density poly (LDPE) supply pipe. Featuring a two-piece swivel design, these connectors allow you to thread the nut onto your water source without twisting the entire irrigation line. Engineered for long-term durability, they provide a secure, leak-resistant interface that ensures your nutrient delivery system remains pressurized and efficient throughout the most demanding watering schedules.
Best For: Connecting 13mm poly supply lines to outdoor taps, tap timers, and 3/4" threaded manifold outlets.
Key Features
- Standard 3/4" BSP Thread: Designed to fit perfectly onto standard Australian and British garden taps, water timers, and threaded irrigation valves for a universal connection.
- High-Tensile Barbed Tail: The 13mm tail features aggressive, precision-moulded barbs that bite deeply into the poly pipe, providing superior pull-out resistance and a watertight seal.
- Independent Swivel Nut: The "Nut and Tail" design allows the threaded nut to spin freely of the hose tail, preventing the irrigation pipe from kinking or twisting during installation.
- Industrial UV-Stabilisation: Manufactured from premium, weather-resistant polymers designed to withstand the intense radiation of the Australian sun and high-intensity grow lights without becoming brittle.
- Chemical & Nutrient Stable: Built to handle the continuous flow of water and mineral fertilisers without degrading, leaching, or corroding over time.
- Leak-Proof Internal Seal: Designed to be used with a standard 3/4" washer to ensure a drip-free connection at the tap, preventing water waste and maintaining system pressure.
Specifications
- Size: 3/4" BSP (Nut) x 13mm (Barbed Tail)
- Material: High-Impact Polypropylene / UV-Resistant Polymer
- Connection Type: Threaded Swivel to Barb
- Quantity: 25 Pieces per Bag
- Colour: Black (Light-Proof)
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Thermal Barb Fitting: For the easiest installation, dip the end of your 13mm poly pipe in hot water for 15 seconds. This softens the pipe, allowing the barbed tail to slide on fully for a "shrink-wrapped" seal as it cools.
- Seating the Washer: Always ensure a 3/4" rubber or silicone washer is seated flat inside the nut before threading it onto the tap. Hand-tightening is usually sufficient for a watertight seal; avoid over-tightening with tools to prevent damage to the threads.
- Winterization: While these are UV-stabilised, if used in outdoor garden environments prone to frost, it is good practice to drain the lines before winter to prevent expanding ice from stressing the fittings.
Ideal For (Uses)
- Main Line Entry: Serving as the primary entry point for water entering a greenhouse or grow room from a standard mains tap.
- Tap Timer Integration: Connecting 13mm supply lines to the outlet of automated digital tap timers for scheduled watering cycles.
- Custom Manifolds: Building professional-grade distribution boards where multiple 13mm lines are fed from a 3/4" threaded header.
Oversized Item Delivery Options
Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.
Available options include:
✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)
Important Notes:
- Shipping costs vary by location and method
- Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
- Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
- Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
- Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions
Business Delivery:
- Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
- If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
- Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment
See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.
Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).
How lead times work:
- Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
- Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
- Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
- Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
- Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.
Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
