Description
Overview:
The Malleable Equal Hex Nipple 2" x 2" M/M BSP (Manufacturer Part Number 484 200) is a heavy‐duty connector for joining two threaded pipes of the same size. Made from malleable cast iron for strength and shock resistance, it features a hexagonal centre to take a spanner for easy tightening and removal in tight spaces. With 2 inch (50.8 mm) male BSP threads at both ends, it suits standard UK pipework in water, air, and light oil lines. This fitting is commonly used across plumbing installations, plant rooms, compressors, pumps, pressure washer pipework, and general workshop services on tools and small machines where a robust, reliable male‐to‐male join is required.
