Description
Overview:
The Reducing Hex Nipple 2 x 1 inch is a compact, male-to-male pipe fitting used to join two threaded pipes of different sizes in a straight line. Made from tough malleable iron with a black protective finish, it is designed to withstand everyday knocks and vibration in site, workshop, and plant environments. The hexagonal centre allows positive tightening with a spanner for a secure, leak-resistant joint. It steps down from 2 inch (50.8 mm) to 1 inch (25.4 mm), making it a practical choice when adapting larger headers to smaller branches on systems such as water feeds, heating circuits, and compressed air lines on equipment and installations. Manufacturer Part Number: 585 201.
Key Features:
- Durable malleable iron body provides strength and impact resistance in busy site and workshop conditions
- Black finish offers added corrosion resistance for indoor or outdoor use
- Male-to-male threaded ends for straightforward inline connections and size transition
- Hexagonal centre section for easy tightening with a standard spanner
- Reduces from 2 inch (50.8 mm) to 1 inch (25.4 mm) to adapt mixed pipe sizes
- One-piece fitting minimises joint count and potential leak points versus multi-part assemblies
- Compact form factor suits tight spaces and retrofit work
- Suitable for use with common metal pipe systems and compatible fittings when installed with an appropriate thread sealant
- Reliable choice for maintenance, repair, and small upgrades without re-piping large sections
Typical Applications:
Used to step down from 2 inch (50.8 mm) mains to 1 inch (25.4 mm) branches on non-potable water lines, closed heating loops, compressed air drops, irrigation manifolds, pump and tank connections, and general plant maintenance on site equipment. Useful in workshops, farms, building services, and light industrial settings.
