Description
Overview:
The Brass Reducing Bush 1/4" BSP Female to 3/8" BSP Male (MPN 646 002) is a compact threaded fitting for joining different pipework and accessory sizes on construction and garden machinery. Made from solid brass for strength and corrosion resistance, it links a 1/4 in (approx. 6.35 mm) BSP female port to a 3/8 in (approx. 9.53 mm) BSP male connection. Use it to step up from smaller instrument or hose ports to larger fittings without altering existing pipe runs. The hexagonal body allows positive tightening with a spanner in tight spaces. It is suitable for general plumbing on site equipment such as pumps, compressors, pressure washers and sprayers, where a dependable mechanical joint is required.
Key Features:
- Durable brass body for long service and good corrosion resistance
- Precision-cut BSP threads for a snug, leak-tight fit when used with suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape
- 1/4 in (6.35 mm) BSP female to 3/8 in (9.53 mm) BSP male for straightforward size adaptation
- Hexagonal profile for easy installation with standard spanners
- Compact, low-profile design helps in confined spaces on machines and frames
- Sold individually to match job quantities
- Suitable for general water and air service in construction and garden equipment plumbing
Typical Applications:
Adapting smaller ports to larger fittings on pumps, pressure washers, compressors, sprayers, valves, filters, and gauges. Useful in maintenance and repair work where port sizes differ across components, including site machinery, irrigation setups, and workshop test rigs. Ideal for achieving a secure, mechanical thread connection without re-piping.
