[nigelmercier]

I'm looking for some DZR Hose Tails with a 90° bend, 1½" BSP and ¾" BSP.

Any suggestions?

You can always make up the larger fitting with an elbow and straight hose tail?

Does it have to be DZR brass

Lots of plastic 90 degree hose tails. I have just the sizes you need in my shed.

These suppliers may be closer to you.

Definitely bronze available and some DZR ones- page 10 of Section One of the catalogue here:

That's what I have at the moment, and why I want to replace them.

Nigel, you say that as though it was self-explanatory, but what is the problem with separate elbows and hose-tails?

Bulky, plus an additional point of failure.

Earlier this year I was trying to find 90 degree hosetail fittings for a Racor fuel filter. 3/4BSP if I remember correctly. I wanted as few separate fittings as possible for the reasons given by Nigel. I could find a single fitting but that was expensive and only available in the USA for some reason. I could have imported the fitting but the costs were prohibitive.

I tried several UK suppliers and Hyphose were able to come up with a 2 part fitting whereas the others, although very helpful, proposed a 3 part.

Is a 90 degree bend in a toilet outlet a good idea? It seems a better idea to keep the flow as smooth as possible. Although my Blakes 1.5 inch seacock (on which the flow inside the valve is not perfectly smooth) has never blocked I have noticed that carbonate accumulations seem to grow at the sharpest point of the bend, a good deal less than 90 degrees.

Probably not, but that is what is there now. I will investigate the possibility of using 135° (or even straight) hose connectors where possible, but I figure that at least some of the valves will need 90° bends.

The straighter the better, probably, but I have several sharp 90 degree bends in my outlet (from toilet and tank) and there has not been any problem from this in 30+ years.

[UPDATE] Just found these.

Will gunmetal be OK with my DZR fittings?

Also, there was a recent thread that mentioned plastic hose fittings, can't find it.

I put a 1.5" one on ebay about a year ago - no takers. It is still sitting in the shed but I am sitting on the boat in Sicily and won't be back in the UK for some time. So, if you aren't in a hurry . . . . . . . . .

When I changed all my skin fittings, ball valves, 90 bends and hose tails, I found Force 4 the cheaper option. I used as much bronze as I could as I don't want ever to do this again! - some were is B****dy awkward places.
