Overview:
The Malleable Iron Reducing Hex Nipple 1/4" x 1/8" M/M BSP is a compact pipe fitting used to join two female BSP ports of different sizes in plumbing, industrial, and workshop systems. Made from tough malleable iron, it handles everyday knocks and repeated tightening without cracking. The male-to-male BSP threads make it suitable for water, air, and light oil lines on plant, compressors, pressure washers, irrigation setups, and general site services. Its hexagonal body allows a firm spanner grip for quick, controlled tightening. Size: 1/4" x 1/8" BSP (approx. 6.35 mm x 3.18 mm nominal). Manufacturer Part Number: 585 148. Use with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to help achieve a leak‐resistant joint.
