Description
Overview:
The Malleable Male-Female Reducing Hex Bush 2"m x 1.1/2"f BSP (MPN 383 212) is a compact pipe fitting used to step down from a 2 inch (50.8 mm) male BSP connection to a 1.1/2 inch (38.1 mm) female BSP port. Made from durable malleable iron, it provides strength with a degree of flexibility to cope with vibration and temperature changes often found in plant, workshop and site plumbing. The hexagonal body allows easy tightening with a standard spanner, helping achieve a secure, leak-resistant joint when used with suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape. It suits general water, air and non-corrosive fluid pipework on construction equipment, compressors, pumps and garden systems, and is a practical choice for both professional maintenance and DIY projects where a reliable BSP size reduction is required.
Key Features:
- Male-to-female reducer from 2 inch (50.8 mm) BSP male to 1.1/2 inch (38.1 mm) BSP female
- Malleable iron construction for robust, long-lasting performance under everyday site use
- Hex head for positive grip and straightforward installation with a spanner
- Compact form factor helps in tight spaces and retrofit situations
- Compatible with standard BSP pipework and fittings used across UK plumbing and plant maintenance
- Provides a neat, secure reduction without adding unnecessary length to the line
- Suitable for use with PTFE tape or appropriate thread sealants to aid sealing and disassembly
- Consistent threads for smooth assembly and reduced risk of cross-threading
- Versatile choice for trade, facilities maintenance, agriculture and DIY applications
- Helps standardise mixed pipe sizes across existing systems without major rework
Typical Applications:
Reducing 2 inch feed lines to 1.1/2 inch branches on pump sets, irrigation systems, water bowsers, washdown hoses, compressed air manifolds, rainwater harvesting pipework and general site plumbing. Useful on plant rooms, workshops, farm and garden installations where BSP fittings are standard and a reliable, space-saving size transition is needed.
