“The only place I could find this adapter. Very high quality piece and fits perfectly in the La Marzocco braided hose, which I will use to connect my Micra to the Flojet. I bought 5-6 different parts from other stores and this is the only one that fits.”
“This product helped me connect my Italian water softener to US-threaded water lines! It’s exactly what I was needing and I could not find it at any of my local hardware stores. So grateful for Espresso Parts as they were quick, helpful, and friendly.”
“Only four stars because the first one was the wrong thread, so be careful and test the fittings. Otherwise extremely useful for connecting European espresso machines to water supply using regular faucet braided lines.”
“Used it for BWT FILTER, it was a must to convert BSP fitting to standard US compression. If you experience leaking in the connection ( as I have) use plenty of good Teflon .”
“I purchased two of these adapters to connect my under sink BWT filter to my espresso machine via 3/8" US steel braided compression lines. Most espresso machine dealers offer John Guest fitting adapters for this purpose, but I don't trust those to put up with movement due to filter changes or in hard to observe places without leaking. I know that the JG fittings have been tested and are generally felt to be secure, but I've experienced leaks in other under sink filter applications. These brass 3/8"BSPx3/8" Compression adapters are the best way to go for this application. BTW, I believe the adapter would be more accurately described as 3/8 BSP Female x 3/8 Compression Male (not female)...as they allow you to attach a 3/8 BSP male thread to 3/8 female compression fittings...”
“This is the perfect part to convert European machines from 3/8" BSP to 3/8" compression (US). I used the 3/8" compression male side to connect to a typical braided dishwasher hose I bought at Home Depot. The other end of this hose then connects to a typical 3/8" shutoff available in the US. You just have to crack open your machine and connect this part to the pump, then connect your US-based hose to that. This is straightforward if you are comfortable working on your espresso machine, and allows direct connections without myriad adapters and/or other hoses.”
