Description
Overview:
The Malleable Iron Reducing Hex Nipple 1.1/2" x 1.1/4" M/M BSP is a strong, threaded pipe fitting used to join two different BSP female thread sizes in a straight line. Made from robust malleable iron with a corrosion‐resistant galvanised finish, it stands up well to everyday use in workshops, site plumbing, and plant maintenance. The hexagonal centre makes tightening with a spanner straightforward, helping you achieve a secure seal with thread sealant or PTFE tape. With male BSP threads at both ends, it reduces from 1.1/2" (approx. 38.1 mm) to 1.1/4" (approx. 31.8 mm). Suitable for water, air, and many non‐corrosive fluids, it offers a reliable connection in building services, irrigation, pumps, compressors, and general industrial pipework.
Key Features:
- Malleable iron body for impact resistance and long service life
- Galvanised finish to help resist rust in damp or outdoor environments
- Reduces from 1.1/2" (38.1 mm) to 1.1/4" (31.8 mm) in one compact fitting
- Dual male BSP threads for wide compatibility with valves, tees, and couplers
- Hexagonal centre for easy installation with standard spanners
- Precision-machined threads for a tight, dependable fit when used with suitable sealant
- Straight-through design keeps flow path simple and minimises added restriction
- Useful for adapting legacy or oversized lines to newer equipment without re-piping
- Suitable for domestic, commercial, and light industrial pipe runs
- Works across plumbing, compressed air, irrigation, and general maintenance tasks
Typical Applications:
Linking pumps or tanks to smaller distribution lines, stepping down manifold outlets, adapting compressors or air systems, connecting irrigation pipework, and general plumbing where a straight, male-to-male reduction is needed. Common on site utilities, plant rooms, workshops, garages, and machinery hookups transporting water, air, or other compatible fluids within rated system limits.
Also known as:
Reducing nipple, BSP male reducer, double male adaptor, hex reducing nipple, threaded reducer nipple, BSPM-to-BSPM reducer, male-to-male pipe adaptor, iron reducing fitting.
