Description
Overview:
The Malleable Iron Reducing Bush - 2 inch (50.8 mm) Male to 1 inch (25.4 mm) Female - is a sturdy threaded fitting used to join different pipe sizes in plumbing and general pipework. Made from malleable iron with a corrosion‐resistant galvanised finish, it provides a strong, long‐lasting connection between larger 2 inch male threads and smaller 1 inch female threads. The hexagonal body allows a firm spanner grip for confident tightening in tight spaces. Suitable for domestic, commercial, and site use, it is commonly found in water, heating, irrigation, and compressed air lines on plant, workshop setups, and machinery installations such as pumps or pressure washer rigs. For best results, fit using appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape. MPN: 383 201.
