Low-Pressure Hose Tail – BSP Swivel Female – Straight – Crimp-On

A low-pressure BSP swivel female with a 60° cone seat on a straight crimp tail, for return lines, suction, drain and tank lines.

Mild steel body with a plated finish, manufactured to the standard listed above.

This is the tail only – clamps are sold separately

Low-pressure tails are not crimped. They push into the hose and are held with a worm drive clamp over the barb. There is no ferrule and no crimp diameter to set.

• Cut the hose square and push it fully onto the barb, past the last serration.
• Position the clamp over the barbed section, not over the plain shank behind it.
• Nip it up until the hose swells slightly between the serrations. Over-tightening cuts the cover and starts a leak path.
• Two clamps on larger bores, spaced along the barb, on suction and return lines that see vibration.

Thread Standards

• BSP Swivel Female – BSPP to ISO 228 with a 60° internal cone seat, seals on the cone and swivels, so it needs no tape or sealant

How to Choose

• A straight tail is the default. Only go to a bend when the hose would otherwise leave the port at an angle it does not like.
• Low-pressure duty only – return, drain, suction and tank lines. Not for pump pressure lines.
• Seals on the 60° internal cone and swivels, so nothing goes on the thread.

Technicians Advice

Low pressure does not mean low care. A drain line that lets go still empties a reservoir onto the ground, and the fitting that failed is usually the one nobody checked.

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.

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.

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.

What “low pressure” means here

• These tails are built for the low-pressure side of a system – return lines, case drains, suction lines and tank lines.
• They are not a substitute for a braided-hose pressure tail. If the line sees pump pressure, use a two-piece tail on 1‑wire or 2‑wire hose instead.
• The working pressure of the finished assembly is set by the lowest-rated part in it – usually the hose. Check the hose rating and match the tail to it, not the other way round.
• Suction and return lines run at low pressure but move a lot of oil. Size on bore and flow, not on the thread you happen to have spare.
