Antelco 13mm Barbed x 1/2″ BSP Male Valve
The Antelco 13mm Barbed x 1/2″ BSP Male Valve is used to control or isolate the flow of water between a standard 13mm irrigation supply pipe and equipment fitted with a 1/2″ BSP female threaded connection. Its quarter-turn handle provides a simple method of adjusting or shutting off water to individual irrigation zones, filters, manifolds or other threaded irrigation components. Featuring a 13mm barbed connection on one side and a 1/2″ BSP male thread on the other, the valve provides a secure transition between LDPE irrigation pipe and threaded fittings. Manufactured in Australia from UV-stabilised engineering plastic, it is suitable for long-term outdoor use in low-pressure garden irrigation systems. Antelco Part Number: 49005Features
