Is the Adjustable BSP Male Thread Connecting T-Piece, Type 40216 compatible with hoses below Shore (A) 98° hardness?

No — the Adjustable BSP Male Thread Connecting T-Piece, Type 40216 is engineered to work with polyurethane hoses of minimum Shore (A) 98° hardness. Hoses with hardness below Shore (A) 98° are not within the specified compatibility and may not provide a proper, leak-free fit or reliable performance.

Can the Adjustable BSP Male Thread Connecting T-Piece, Type 40216 be used with hoses made of materials other than polyurethane?

The Adjustable BSP Male Thread Connecting T-Piece, Type 40216 is specifically engineered for use with plastic hoses, and its specifications guarantee optimal performance with polyurethane hoses of minimum Shore (A) 98° hardness. While the coupling’s nickel‑plated brass body, Viton sealing, wide temperature range (‑15°C to +130°C) and 30 bar working pressure offer good compatibility with many media and resistant hose materials, the product description explicitly certifies compatibility only with polyurethane hoses meeting the stated hardness. Using other hose materials may be possible in practice if they match the dimensional, hardness and chemical-resistance requirements (inner diameter fit, Shore A ~98 or equivalent stiffness, compatibility with Viton and the conveyed medium, and performance across the operating temperature and pressure ranges). However, because fit, seal integrity and safety depend on material-specific properties, you should verify compatibility with the hose manufacturer or the coupling supplier before installing non‑polyurethane hoses.
