David Mack Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Looks like a 1 1/4 bsp F x F (female) elbow, with a 1 1/4 x something (3/4?) iron reducing bush for the brass fitting to which the plastic fitting is attached. But since the plastic fitting has a male threaded end, it would have been easier just to use a steel nipple into the reducing bush. https://www.bes.co.uk/iron-elbow-90-11-4-f-black-8240/ Other suppliers are available.

I got the first bit but the second paragraph completely missed me, thanks anyway. It's what was draining the bathroom sink to the skin fitting, ideally I would like to replace it with a more sensible plastic fitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmr Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 You actually have three or maybe four separate components there to go from "one thing to another" so will need to buy them separately. The big thing will be a female BSP elbow, you will have to measure the thread size. You can get smaller ones in brass as well as iron. Next is a reducing bush female/male. Then a brass adaptor for the plastic Hep2o and the Hep2o fitting itself. These might come as one but they are likely two separate items. This style of Hep2o is no longer available but a modern white one will do a similar job. Probably best to take it to a good plumbers merchant as they might have a different combination of things to achieve the same ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what would be a none cock up way of doing it, this is an original bit from when I bought the boat many many years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmr Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Its not realy a total cock up, the nature of BSP fittings is that not everything is available, and even less readily availablem so its quite common to see several items joined together to go from one thing to another, though I suspect this one could be a bit more elegant. What screws on to the grey plastic thread? is it something flexible? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the sink got a watse trap fitted? If so get a trap with a washing machine spigot come of the outlet. Jubilee clip flexible hose to Hep 20 fitting on skin outlet.

No trap, it connects to this, which I also need a replacement for as the plastic thread has stripped. Tbh there's not enough space for a trap, there's hardly any downward run to the skin fitting now.

springy Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 How about one of these https://www.pump.co.uk/hose-accessories-c279/brass-plastic-fittings-c1/brass-plastic-hosetails-c6/pvc-hosetail-step-adaptor-p5669 and then flexible hose of appropriate size to the skin fitting. springy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mack Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) If you have a fixed position sink outlet and a fixed position skin fitting, getting threaded fittings to join one to the other and fit will be a nightmare. Better to go for a hosetail on each with a length of flexible hose between. Edited August 3, 2023 by David Mack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
