Quick Connect Adapter 15 mm to 3/8 inch BSP Male - Pack of 2

This adapter is sold in a pack of two units. The product includes two Quick Connect adapters 15 mm to 3/8 inch male BSP.

This adapter has two types of connections:

A 15 mm Quick Connect fitting, typical of Whale plumbing systems. A 3/8 inch male BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread for connecting to other components compatible with this thread standard.

This adapter is specifically designed for Whale marine plumbing systems. It is part of Whale’s « Quick Connect Pipework and Fittings » range, ensuring optimal compatibility within these systems.

This adapter is designed to connect a Whale Quick Connect 15 mm pipe system to a female fitting with a 3/8 inch BSP male thread. It provides an easy transition between these two commonly used connection types in marine plumbing systems.

This product is sold in a pack of 2 adapters. You will receive two Quick Connect adapters 15 mm to 3/8 inch male BSP.

Yes, Whale Quick Connect adapters are designed to be used with hot and cold water systems aboard boats. They are typically rated for temperatures up to 65°C.

This adapter is designed to handle standard operating pressures in marine plumbing systems, typically up to 6 bar (about 87 psi). It is important to check your system's pressure to ensure compatibility.

Yes, Whale Quick Connect adapters are designed to be reusable. They can be disassembled and reinstalled multiple times without compromising their integrity, provided they are handled correctly and not damaged.

To install the 15 mm Quick Connect side, simply firmly insert the 15 mm semi-rigid hose into the adapter until it reaches the bottom and you feel resistance. The internal fitting automatically secures the hose, ensuring a watertight connection without tools.

No, the 15 mm Quick Connect side requires no tools for pipe installation. For the 3/8 inch BSP male side, an adjustable wrench or appropriately sized open-end wrench may be needed to hand-tighten the threaded fitting, followed by a slight tightening with the tool to ensure a watertight seal.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to use PTFE thread tape or a thread sealing compound on the 3/8 inch BSP male thread to ensure a watertight connection and prevent leaks. Apply the tape in the direction of the thread.

To remove a pipe from a 15 mm Quick Connect fitting, push the locking ring (collet) of the adapter toward the fitting body, then firmly and straight pull the pipe out of the fitting. A specific Whale unlocking tool can make this operation easier.

No, as an adapter, there is no predefined flow direction. The 15 mm Quick Connect side is for a 15 mm hose, and the 3/8 inch BSP male side is for a 3/8 inch BSP female fitting. Install it according to the connections you need to make.

The Quick Connect 15 mm side is compatible with 15 mm outer diameter semi-rigid hoses, such as Whale Quick Connect hoses or other marine plumbing hoses with standard dimensions.

The 3/8 inch BSP male thread is compatible with any female fitting featuring an internal 3/8 inch BSP thread. It is commonly used to connect to pumps, water heaters, taps, or other marine plumbing components.

The adapter is compatible with 15 mm outer diameter hoses on the Quick Connect side, and with 3/8 inch BSP female threaded fittings on the threaded side, regardless of brand, provided the dimensions and thread standards are met.

Yes, if your Whale pumps or tanks (or other brands) have connection ports with a 3/8 inch BSP female thread or use 15 mm pipes, this adapter is designed to facilitate the connection between these components and a 15 mm Whale Quick Connect system.

Yes, Whale Quick Connect fittings are typically made from food-grade materials and are suitable for use with potable water systems on board boats, ensuring the water remains clean and safe to drink.
