Description
Overview:
The Malleable Iron Elbow Male-Female 1/2" BSP is a right‐angle pipe fitting for joining a male-threaded pipe to a female-threaded port at 90°. Made from tough black malleable iron, it is designed for dependable connections in water, air, and general service pipework on construction and garden machinery, compressors, heaters, and workshop plumbing. The 1/2 inch BSP thread size (approx. 12.7 mm) is widely used across UK systems, making this elbow a practical choice for repairs, modifications, and new installations. Its compact form helps route lines neatly around corners while maintaining flow. Suitable for tradespeople and DIY users alike, it offers a simple, mechanical joint using standard BSP threads and thread sealant or PTFE tape.
Key Features:
- Malleable iron construction for strength and long service life in everyday plumbing and industrial duties
- Male to female BSP connection simplifies changes of direction without extra couplers
- 1/2" BSP thread size (about 12.7 mm) for broad compatibility with UK pipework and fittings
- Right‐angle form factor helps navigate tight spaces and maintain tidy pipe runs
- Black finish malleable iron suitable for general service lines and workshop environments
- Reliable threaded seal when installed with PTFE tape or suitable jointing compound
- Easy to fit with common hand tools; no soldering or special equipment required
- Suitable for steel, galvanised, or compatible BSP-threaded pipe systems
- Solid casting with precise threads for a secure, leak‐tight connection when correctly assembled
Typical Applications:
Used to turn a 1/2" BSP (12.7 mm) line through 90° on water supply manifolds, compressed air lines, irrigation circuits, heating loops, fuel oil return lines, plant room pipework, and machinery services. Common in workshops, garages, farms, and site setups where durable, threaded connections are preferred over push‐fit or soldered joints.
