Description
Overview:
The Malleable Iron Equal Hex Nipple 1/4" x 1/4" M/M BSP is a compact, heavy‐duty pipe fitting used to join two 1/4" BSP female ports inline. Made from malleable iron for toughness and shock resistance, it keeps threads aligned and provides a solid, leak‐resistant connection in air, water and light‐oil systems. The equal hex section in the centre gives a firm grip for a spanner, making installation and removal straightforward even in tight spaces. Sized 1/4" (6.35 mm) BSP male at both ends, it is commonly used on compressors, pumps, pressure washers and general plant and workshop plumbing found in construction and garden machinery. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 484 014.
Key Features:
- 1/4" x 1/4" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) BSP male-to-male for inline joining of female BSP fittings
- Equal hex body for positive spanner engagement and easy tightening/removal
- Durable malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to vibration and impact
- Precision-cut BSP threads (1/4" BSP typically 19 TPI) for consistent fit and reliable sealing
- Compact form factor suits confined installations on tools and machinery
- Compatible with standard 1/4" BSP female valves, couplers, gauges and manifolds
- Supports common media such as compressed air, water and light oils (use appropriate sealant)
- Best installed with PTFE tape or suitable thread sealant to achieve a leak-tight joint
- Useful for extending, adapting or repairing existing BSP pipework and equipment
- MPN 484 014 for easy identification in spares catalogues and parts stores
Typical Applications:
Connecting two female 1/4" BSP components in air lines, water supply lines and lubrication circuits; linking gauges, regulators and valves; extending pump or compressor ports; adapting pressure washer accessories; building manifolds and service lines in workshops, plant rooms and on-site setups.
