Description
Overview:
The Malleable Iron Reducing Hex Nipple 1" x 1/2" M/M BSP is a robust threaded pipe fitting for joining two different BSP pipe sizes. Made from durable malleable iron, it features a hexagonal body for easy tightening with a spanner and male BSP threads on both ends for straightforward connection. One end is 1 inch (25.4 mm) BSP and the other is 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) BSP, making it suitable for adapting larger lines to smaller ones in plumbing and industrial pipework. Often used around compressors, pumps, valves, gauges, and manifolds, it supports water, air, and general service lines in workshops, plant, and facilities. Manufacturer Part Number: 585 112. Use with an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to achieve a pressure-tight joint.
Key Features:
- Malleable iron construction for strength and long service life
- Reduces from 1" (25.4 mm) BSP male to 1/2" (12.7 mm) BSP male
- Hexagonal body for positive grip and easy installation with standard spanners
- BSP thread form for compatibility with common UK and international pipework
- Reliable choice for water, air, and non-corrosive fluids in general services
- Compact form factor helps in tight spaces and retrofit applications
- Simple, tool-friendly design minimises downtime during maintenance
- Consistent thread accuracy for leak-resistant connections when used with sealant
- Suitable for workshop, site, and plant environments
Typical Applications:
Adapting pipe runs from 1" to 1/2" BSP on water and air lines, connecting pumps or compressors to smaller accessories, stepping down to valves, pressure gauges, hose tails, or manifolds, and linking fixed pipework to equipment in plumbing, heating plant, irrigation, and general industrial systems.
