Description
Overview:
The Malleable Iron Reducing Hex Nipple 1.1/4" x 1" M/M BSP is a robust threaded adaptor used to join two BSP female connections of different sizes in pipework. Made from tough malleable iron, it handles everyday knocks and vibration well and offers long service life in plumbing and industrial installations. One end is 1.1/4" BSP (31.75 mm) male and the other is 1" BSP (25.4 mm) male, with a hexagonal section for easy tightening with a spanner. It is suitable for use across workshops, plant rooms, irrigation setups, and general maintenance on machinery that uses BSP threaded ports, such as pumps, valves, and filters. Compatible with standard UK BSP systems and typical sealing methods like PTFE tape or appropriate thread sealant.
Key Features:
- Reduces from 1.1/4" BSP (31.75 mm) male to 1" BSP (25.4 mm) male for mixed-size pipe runs
- Hexagonal centre allows firm, controlled tightening with a spanner in tight spaces
- Malleable iron construction provides strength, impact resistance, and durability
- Compact inline design keeps assemblies short and neat without extra couplers
- Compatible with common BSP female fittings in plumbing and industrial pipework
- Suitable for general service pipework in residential, commercial, and light industrial use
- Simple to install and remove for maintenance or system changes
- Reliable threaded joint when used with appropriate sealing method (e.g. PTFE tape or sealant)
- Versatile component for adapting equipment, manifolds, and valves to alternative pipe sizes
Typical Applications:
Adapting pumps, valves, filters, gauges, and manifolds from 1.1/4" BSP to 1" BSP lines; connecting sections of mixed-size pipework in plant maintenance; workshop plumbing; irrigation and water distribution; compressed air lines in general service; linking equipment on construction or agricultural machinery that uses standard BSP female ports.
