Aquadial 1000i Softener Replacement Tails 3/4in BSP Tails Pair Brass -

This pair of brass 3/4in BSP tails (OEM part 3023824, Kit P3) connects the bypass manifold on an Aquadial 1000i / Prismertec water softener to your household pipework. Customers searching for Aquadial replacement tails, softener bypass connectors, or 3/4in BSP pipe tails need this genuine kit when the original brass tails have corroded, split, or no longer seal cleanly at the compression fitting. Sold as a pair, in stock at WrekinWater.

Technical specifications

Symptoms that mean you need this part

• Green or white corrosion staining visible on the tails where they meet the bypass valve
• A persistent drip or weep at the compression fitting despite re-tightening
• Difficulty getting a watertight seal when reconnecting pipework during servicing
• Tails that are pitted, cracked, or have a stripped/worn thread

Why it fails / why it matters

The tails form the transition between the softener's plastic bypass manifold and the copper or plastic pipework of the household plumbing, held in place with a compression fitting. Brass tails are generally durable, but years of water contact, mineral scale build-up, and repeated tightening during servicing can corrode the threads or damage the sealing face, so the compression joint can no longer be tightened to a leak-free seal. Because the tails are a wear point rather than a valve internal, replacing just this pair is usually enough to restore a sound connection without disturbing the rest of the valve.

Why buy this from WrekinWater

WrekinWater has supplied water softener parts to more than 50,000 customers over 15 years from its Bettisfield, Shropshire base, stocking genuine Autotrol/Pentair components used across the Aquadial and Prismertec ranges. Supplying the correct 3023824 Kit P3 tails rather than a generic 3/4in fitting avoids mismatched thread pitch or sealing face issues, and with an Excellent Trustpilot rating, WrekinWater is a straightforward, reliable source for these easily-overlooked spares.

How to fit it

1. Turn the softener to bypass and shut off the mains water supply before starting.
2. Loosen and disconnect the compression nuts joining the existing tails to the household pipework.
3. Unscrew the old brass tails from the bypass manifold, noting their orientation.
4. Check the manifold threads and O-rings for damage or scale before fitting the new tails.
5. Screw the new 3/4in BSP tails into the bypass manifold, tightening evenly without overtightening.
6. Reconnect the compression fittings to the pipework, restore the water supply, and check both joints for leaks.
