Description
Overview:
The Malleable Iron Elbow Male-Female 1.1/2" BSP (Manufacturer Part Number 686 112) is a heavy‐duty pipe fitting used to change the direction of a run while maintaining a secure threaded joint. Made from malleable iron for high strength and impact resistance, it suits plumbing, industrial piping, plant maintenance, and general workshop use. The fitting presents a 1.1/2" BSP connection size, which corresponds to a nominal bore of 1.5 inches (approx. 38.1 mm) and a typical male thread outside diameter of about 47.8 mm, providing broad compatibility with UK BSP pipework and valves. Its male (external) thread on one end and female (internal) thread on the other makes it versatile where a compact change of direction is required without extra couplers.
Key Features:
- Durable malleable iron body for long service life in demanding environments
- Male to female 1.1/2" BSP threads (approx. 47.8 mm OD, 38.1 mm nominal bore) for straightforward compatibility
- Compact elbow form to change direction without adding multiple fittings
- Clean, accurately machined threads to help achieve a tight, leak‐resistant seal with PTFE tape or thread sealant
- Suitable for water, air, and general service lines in residential, commercial, and industrial settings
- Reliable under vibration and mechanical stress common in plant and machinery installations
- Simple to install with standard spanners; no special tools required
- Versatile choice for repairs, retrofits, or new pipework layouts
Typical Applications:
Changing pipe direction on pump sets, compressors, irrigation systems, plant rooms, and workshop air or water lines. Useful on construction and agricultural machinery where BSP threaded connectors are standard. Ideal for routing around obstacles, tight spaces, or aligning to equipment ports while minimising extra joints.
