TruDesign Aquavalve 120° Hose Tail – BSP Composite Angled Fitting

Improve flow efficiency and installation flexibility with the TruDesign Aquavalve 120° Hose Tail—a premium angled composite hose fitting designed specifically for use with TruDesign Aquavalve systems.

Manufactured in New Zealand from glass-reinforced nylon composite, this fitting provides exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion and electrolysis, making it ideal for long-term marine use.

The 120° angled design allows for a smoother transition than standard 90° fittings, reducing hose stress, minimising kinks, and improving overall flow performance—particularly in tight or awkward installations.

Designed exclusively for Aquavalve systems, this hose tail features a 1½″ BSP parallel thread, ensuring a precise fit with Aquavalves, 3-way connectors, and bulkhead fittings. Unlike standard threaded fittings, sealing is achieved via the included thermoplastic rubber blue washer, not the thread itself.

A key advantage is the adjustable orientation feature—the included blue seal allows the fitting to be rotated after installation, ensuring perfect hose alignment without compromising the seal.

Engineered for harsh marine environments, this fitting is resistant to diesel, petrol, antifouling chemicals, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +110°C), ensuring long service life and reliable performance.

⚠️ Important: This fitting is designed only for use with TruDesign Aquavalve systems and is not recommended for use with ball valves.
