Description
Overview:
Barrel Malleable Iron Nipples, Type 282, are straight double‐male connectors for BSP threaded pipework. Made from durable malleable iron with a black finish, they provide a strong, reliable joint between two female BSP fittings in plumbing and industrial systems. This size is 1/8" BSP (≈3.2 mm nominal bore; thread outside diameter approx. 9.7 mm), making it suitable for small-bore lines on workshop equipment, site tools, and garden or construction machinery where BSP threads are standard. The barrel form gives a compact, easy-to-grip body for installation with a spanner. Sold individually, they are ideal for repairs, modifications, and new assemblies where only a single connector is needed. Manufacturer Part Number: 282 018.
Key Features:
- Malleable iron body for strength and impact resistance in everyday site and workshop use
- Black finish for clean appearance and basic corrosion protection in indoor or sheltered settings
- Type 282 barrel design with male BSP threads at both ends for quick inline joining
- Size: 1/8" BSP (≈3.2 mm nominal; OD approx. 9.7 mm) for compact, small-bore pipe runs
- Compatible with standard BSPP/BSPT female fittings in plumbing and industrial systems
- Straight-through bore supports steady flow for air, water, and general service fluids
- Simple to fit using standard spanners; no special tools required
- Reliable sealing when used with suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape (not included)
- Sold individually to match exact project quantities and reduce waste
- MPN: 282 018 for easy identification and reordering
Typical Applications:
Joining two female BSP fittings in compressed air lines, coolant or water circuits, low-pressure oil feeds, gauge or sensor connections, and general service pipework on machinery, plant, and workshop installations. Useful for repairs, extensions, and adapting equipment where a compact straight connector is required.
