It’s the small, unseen components that often make or break a cellar setup. This Beaumont hose tail is a textbook example of doing one thing and doing it well.

- Top Marks: The fit on both Y and L taps is spot-on; no wrestling required.
- Heads Up: It's plastic, so be sure to hand-tighten to avoid cross-threading.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Queen's Head, a bustling gastropub in York, was struggling with persistent minor drips from their older brass tap fittings, leading to wastage and sticky cellar floors. They decided a simple component refresh was in order across all ten of their lines.
"We were constantly wiping up little puddles in the cellar. We swapped all our old metal connectors for these Beaumont plastic ones, and the problem vanished overnight. They just fit better, and it's one less thing for my team to worry about."
Michael Davies – General Manager
The switch completely eliminated minor leaks, saving an estimated 1-2 pints of wastage per week and significantly reducing daily clean-up time for staff.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the tap nozzle and the inside of the hose are clean and free from debris.
- Firmly push the hose tail onto the tap nozzle until it sits securely.
- Slide your 9mm hose over the barbed tail end for a snug fit.
- For extra security, especially on pressurised lines, use a suitable hose clamp or jubilee clip (sold separately).
Keeping It Going
- Incorporate the fitting into your regular line cleaning schedule to prevent residue build-up.
- Periodically check the fitting for any signs of wear, stress marks, or cracking.
- Avoid using harsh, abrasive chemicals directly on the plastic as it can cause it to become brittle over time.
- If you notice any drips or a loose fit, replace the fitting immediately – they are an inexpensive but vital part.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit any standard beer tap?
A: It's designed specifically for the most common 'Y' and 'L' type standard taps found in UK pubs and bars. It is not suitable for specialised or branded tap heads.
Q: What size hose does this connect to?
A: This Beaumont hose tail for standard tap is made for a secure connection with a hose that has a 9mm internal diameter.
Q: Is it easy to install myself?
A: Absolutely. It's a simple push-fit component. Just ensure the tap is clean, push it on firmly, and then attach your hose. A hose clamp is recommended for extra security.
Q: Is this suitable for both beer and cider lines?
A: Yes, its food-safe plastic construction means it is perfect for beer, lager, cider, and even soft drink lines as it will not affect the taste or quality.
Q: Can I use a tool like pliers to tighten it?
A: We strongly advise against it. The fitting is designed to be hand-tightened. Using tools can damage the plastic or cross-thread the connection.
Q: Does this come with a hose clamp or clip?
A: No, the hose clamp (like a jubilee clip) is sold separately. We highly recommend using one to ensure the hose stays firmly attached to the tail.
Q: What is the main advantage of plastic over older metal fittings?
A: Modern food-grade plastic doesn't corrode like some metals can, it's less likely to harbour bacteria if cleaned properly, and it won't impart any metallic taste to your drinks.
Q: How do I know when it's time to replace my hose tail?
A: You should replace it if you notice any persistent drips, if it looks cracked or cloudy, or if the hose no longer feels secure on the fitting.
The Beaumont Difference: Reliability in Every Pour
In the pub and bar trade, consistency is king, and that's where Beaumont has built its reputation for over 40 years.

This isn't just a generic piece of plastic; it's a component engineered with precise dimensions and durable, food-safe materials to meet the specific demands of a busy commercial cellar. Opting for a Beaumont part means investing in peace of mind. You're reducing the risk of product wastage from leaks, ensuring compliance with food safety standards, and minimising the chance of equipment failure during your busiest hours. It’s this long-term, dependable performance that makes Beaumont the go-to choice for the small but essential hardware that keeps the UK's best bars running smoothly.
Explore more from BeaumontWhy 'Food-Safe' Plastic Makes a Real Difference
You might see 'plastic' and think it’s all the same, but in a bar environment, 'food-safe' is a crucial detail. This standard tap hose tail adapter is made from a specific grade of plastic that is completely inert. This means it won't leach any chemicals or flavours into the drinks passing through it, ensuring that a crisp lager or a fruity cider tastes exactly as it should from keg to glass.
Think of it like this: you wouldn't store a fine wine in an old water bottle because it would taint the flavour. It's the same principle for your draught lines. Using a food-safe component like this Beaumont fitting is a simple step that protects the quality and integrity of your product, which is vital for customer satisfaction and your reputation.
