Description
Overview:
Barrel Nipples Type 282, 3" BSP, are straight male-to-male threaded connectors made from durable malleable iron with a protective black finish. They are used to join two female BSP-threaded fittings or to extend a run of pipe in plumbing and industrial pipework. The 3 inch (approximately 76 mm) BSP size suits larger bore systems often found on site pumps, irrigation lines, and fixed plant services. The barrel form provides solid thread engagement for a dependable, leak-tight joint when used with PTFE tape or an approved thread sealant. Built for everyday use by tradespeople and capable DIY users, these fittings are sold individually for flexible purchasing. Type 282 pattern. MPN: 282 300.
Key Features:
- 3" BSP male threads at both ends for joining female-threaded fittings and valves
- Approximately 76 mm nominal size for large-bore systems
- Robust malleable iron body resists impact and thread damage on site
- Black finish for added corrosion protection and easy identification
- Straight barrel pattern for full-length thread engagement and secure seating
- Simple to install with standard spanners or pipe wrenches; use PTFE tape or thread sealant
- Suitable for water, air, and general-purpose non-corrosive fluids (subject to system compatibility)
- Reliable, leak-tight connection when correctly installed and tightened
- Ideal for new builds, upgrades, and repairs in plumbing and industrial pipework
- Sold individually to match project requirements and reduce waste
Typical Applications:
Joining sections of BSP-threaded pipework, coupling valves, pumps, tanks, and manifolds, or extending runs between filters, strainers, gauges, and control equipment. Common in plant rooms, site utilities, irrigation systems, workshop air lines, and general industrial services where a strong, removable threaded connection is required.
