Description
Overview:
The Male Nipple 1/4" BSP is a genuine JAP brass connector used to join pipework in vintage engine systems. Made from robust, corrosion-resistant brass, it provides a reliable threaded link between components such as fuel, oil, or coolant lines on classic JAP stationary engines, including JAP 3 and JAP 4. The 1/4" BSP thread size offers a practical fit for many legacy installations; the thread's major outside diameter is approximately 13.2 mm (1/4" nominal). This straight male nipple features a hex body to aid tightening with a spanner, helping achieve a secure, leak-resistant joint when used with suitable thread sealant. Supplied as unused old stock, it may show light tarnishing or storage marks, but remains fully functional. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 8328/3.
