Description
Overview:
The Threaded Connector Male 3/8" BSP to Female 1/2" BSP Adaptor is a compact metal fitting used to join components with different British Standard Pipe thread sizes. It has a male 3/8" BSP end (approximately 9.5 mm nominal) and a female 1/2" BSP end (approximately 12.7 mm nominal), allowing quick adaptation between common plumbing sizes on pumps, valves, manifolds, taps, gauges, and hose assemblies. Built from durable materials with a robust body, it is designed for reliable, leak-resistant connections when installed with suitable thread sealant. A hexagonal section allows easy tightening with a spanner for a secure fit. Suitable for general plumbing in workshops, on-site systems, and machinery support equipment. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): MB6/FB6.
