Description
Overview:
The Type 282 Barrel Nipple is a straight, male-to-male pipe fitting for joining two 2 inch (50.8 mm) BSP threaded components in plumbing and industrial pipework. Made from durable malleable iron with a black finish, it offers a robust connection where an equal-size extension or join is needed between pipes, valves, couplings, or fittings. Commonly used on site pumps, tank assemblies, manifolds, and workshop services, it suits a wide range of fluids in general purpose systems. The cylindrical form provides a secure grip for a pipe wrench during installation. Supplied individually, this fitting is identified by MPN 282 200, making it easy to match and replace like-for-like parts in maintenance routines or new builds where standard BSP connections are required.
Key Features:
- 2 inch (50.8 mm) BSP male threads on both ends for straightforward joining of equal-size pipework
- Manufactured from malleable iron for high strength and impact resistance in demanding environments
- Black (ungalvanised) finish suited to general purpose service and plant room installations
- Precisely cut threads to help achieve a reliable seal when used with suitable PTFE tape or pipe sealant
- Simple to fit with a standard pipe wrench; no special tools or adaptors needed for BSP systems
- Suitable for water, air, and other compatible non-corrosive media in plumbing and light industrial setups
- Ideal for extending runs, bridging fittings, or converting female-to-female connections to a straight pass-through
- Type 282 pattern provides a familiar form factor for quick identification and maintenance
- Sold individually to match exact replacement needs without over-ordering
Typical Applications:
Used to join or extend BSP pipework on site and workshop systems, including pump and tank connections, irrigation headers, industrial manifolds, compressor distribution lines, plant washdown lines, and building services. Suitable for new installations, repairs, and upgrades where a straight male-to-male BSP connection is required.
