Description
Overview:
The Barrel Malleable Iron Nipple Type 282 is a straight, male-to-male threaded connector used to join two female BSP threaded fittings in line. Made from robust malleable iron with a durable black finish, it is suitable for general plumbing and industrial pipework on construction and garden machinery. With 1/4" BSP threads (approximately 6.35 mm), it fits widely used British Standard Pipe systems for compact connections where space is limited. This Type 282 pattern nipple is sold individually and is identified by MPN 282 014. Typical uses include building or repairing pipe runs on pumps, compressors, heaters, and fixed installations where a reliable and rigid threaded joint is required. Designed for straightforward installation and dependable service in workshop and site environments.
Key Features:
- 1/4" BSP male threads (approx. 6.35 mm) on both ends for direct inline joining of female BSP fittings
- Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to impact and thread damage
- Black finish for added surface protection and tidy appearance
- Type 282 pattern for standardised fitment across common BSP pipework
- Clean, precise threads to help achieve a tight seal with PTFE tape or suitable pipe sealant
- Compatible with valves, tees, elbows, couplers, gauges, and other 1/4" BSP components
- Compact, fully threaded form factor helps in tight spaces and close-coupled assemblies
- Sold individually to match exact job quantities and reduce waste
- Suitable for trade, maintenance, and DIY use across site, workshop, and domestic settings
- Reliable choice for rigid, non-quick-release connections in fixed pipework
Typical Applications:
Joining two female 1/4" BSP components, extending pipe runs, connecting valves or gauges to manifolds, linking pumps and compressors to hard pipe, and making rigid inline repairs in air, water, or general service lines on construction equipment, plant rooms, and garden systems where BSP threaded pipework is used.
