BSP Swivel Female x BSP Tapered Male 90° Compact Elbow

Tapered male screws into the port, swivel female takes the hose, and the body turns it 90°. The standard BSP hose-off-a-port elbow on Australian equipment, and one of the highest-moving fittings on the shelf.

Brand: Ayrtec – mild steel body with a plated finish, manufactured to the standards listed below.

Thread Standards

• BSP Swivel Female – BSPP to ISO 228 with a 60° internal cone seat. It seals on the cone and swivels, so it needs no tape or sealant.
• BSP Tapered Male – BSPT to ISO 7 / BS 21. It seals on the tapered thread itself, so it needs PTFE tape or a liquid thread sealant.

How to Choose

• The swivel female seals on a 60° cone and must stay dry. The tapered male seals on the thread and needs tape or sealant.
• Sizes do not have to match. A 1/2 swivel onto a 3/8 tapered male is a common combination.
• If the port is parallel rather than tapered, this is the wrong fitting; you want the parallel male version with a bonded washer.

Where You’ll Find It

• BSP Swivel Female – Hose ends across Australian-built assemblies, and anywhere a joint has to be broken and remade repeatedly.
• BSP Tapered Male – Older Australian and British pipework, gauge ports, tank and return lines, and cast pump and gearbox housings.

Cross-Reference

• BSP Swivel Female – BSPP body to ISO 228 with a 60° cone seat. Commonly called a BSP swivel or BSP female cone seat.
• BSP Tapered Male – BSPT to ISO 7 / BS 21, written R for male. Sometimes labelled PT or BSP taper.

Parker, Gates, Aeroquip and Ryco all manufacture to these same standards under their own part numbering, so a fitting built to the standard above will mate with theirs.

Cross-references are given at series level as a guide to the standard, not as a part-for-part substitution. Always confirm the thread form, size and seal type against the port before ordering.

Technicians Advice

The swivel nut should turn freely by hand until the cones meet. If it starts to load up early, the cone is not sitting square. Back it off and restart rather than pulling it up with a spanner, because a cross-loaded 60° seat will mark and then it leaks for good.
