Description
Overview:
The Malleable Iron Reducing Hex Nipple 3/4" x 1/2" M/M BSP is a strong, general-purpose pipe fitting for joining two BSP-threaded lines of different sizes. Made from durable malleable iron, it has a hexagonal centre for easy tightening with a spanner and male BSP threads on both ends. It reduces from 3/4 inch (19.05 mm) to 1/2 inch (12.7 mm), making it useful across plumbing, heating, compressed air, and industrial piping setups. Suitable for workshop equipment, plant maintenance, and fixed installations, it helps adapt pipework, valves, filters, gauges, and manifolds where a step-down connection is needed. Its robust construction provides reliable performance in everyday service with water, air, and non-corrosive fluids when installed correctly with appropriate thread sealant.
Key Features:
- Malleable iron body for strength and long service life
- Reduces from 3/4" (19.05 mm) to 1/2" (12.7 mm) to adapt mixed pipe sizes
- Male-to-male BSP threads for straightforward in-line connections
- Hexagonal centre for secure tightening with standard spanners
- Compact form factor helps in tight or confined pipe runs
- Suitable for water, air, and general non-corrosive fluids in domestic and industrial systems
- Helps connect valves, regulators, gauges, filters, and manifolds without extra couplings
- Smooth thread finish aids sealing with PTFE tape or liquid thread sealant
- Manufacturer Part Number: 585 312
Typical Applications:
Reducing connections on plumbing and heating circuits, compressor and workshop air lines, plant and machinery service lines, irrigation and washdown systems, and general industrial pipework. Commonly used when stepping down from 3/4" (19.05 mm) to 1/2" (12.7 mm) between pipe, hose tails, valves, pressure gauges, pumps, and filters.
