Description
Overview:
The Malleable Iron Reducing Hex Nipple 2" x 1.1/2" M/M BSP is a threaded pipe fitting used to join two BSP female ports of different sizes in fluid or air systems. Manufactured from durable malleable iron, it offers reliable mechanical strength with good resistance to impact and vibration. This male-to-male adaptor reduces from 2 inch (50.8 mm) to 1 1/2 inch (38.1 mm), helping you adapt existing runs without rethreading or replacing long pipe sections. The hex body allows easy tightening with a spanner for a secure, leak-resistant joint when used with suitable thread sealant. Ideal for plumbing, heating, compressed air, water transfer, and general industrial piping, it suits workshop equipment, pumps, pressure washers, and plant installations. Manufacturer Part Number: 585 212.
Key Features:
- Robust malleable iron construction for long service life in everyday and industrial use
- Reducing hex design connects 2" (50.8 mm) to 1 1/2" (38.1 mm) BSP female fittings
- BSP male threads on both ends for broad compatibility with UK piping and equipment
- Hexagonal body for positive grip and controlled torque with standard spanners
- Compact form factor to save space compared with using multiple adaptors
- Suitable for water, air, and many non-corrosive fluids when correctly sealed
- Straightforward installation; use PTFE tape or approved pipe sealant on threads
- Helps maintain system integrity by avoiding unnecessary elbows or extra joints
- Reliable choice for maintenance, repairs, and system modifications
- Precision-machined threads for consistent fit and repeatable sealing
Typical Applications:
Used to reduce from 2" (50.8 mm) to 1 1/2" (38.1 mm) on plumbing lines, plant room manifolds, water pumps, pressure washers, compressors, and workshop air systems. Common in industrial, commercial, and residential installations where existing BSP pipework needs adapting without redesigning the entire run.
