Description
Overview:
These Type 282 Barrel Nipples are straight, male-male threaded connectors used for joining two female-threaded fittings or pipe sections in plumbing and industrial pipework. Made from malleable iron with a durable black finish, they offer a practical balance of strength and toughness for everyday installation and maintenance work. The thread size is 1.1/2" BSP (38.1 mm), giving broad compatibility with British Standard Pipe systems in workshops, plant rooms, and general building services. Each nipple features full-length male threads for a secure, tight fit when used with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape. Sold individually under MPN 282 112, they are a dependable choice for creating straight-through connections, extending pipe runs, or adapting assemblies where a compact, inline male connector is required.
