Description
Overview:
The Weldable Malleable Iron Female Socket, Black, Type 181, 1.1/2" BSP (approx. 38 mm nominal), is a straight female-to-female threaded connector for joining two male BSP pipes or fittings. Made from durable malleable iron with a protective black finish, it offers a strong, reliable joint in plumbing and industrial pipework. The compact 46 mm body suits tight installations while maintaining a robust wall thickness for long service life. It is suitable for general water, air, and non-corrosive fluid lines found in workshops, plant rooms, agricultural setups, and on-site equipment. Designed for ease of fitment with standard BSP tooling, it provides a secure, leak-resistant connection on steel or iron pipelines used around construction machinery, compressors, and fixed plant. MPN: 181 112.
Key Features:
- 1.1/2" BSP female thread (approx. 38 mm nominal) for compatibility with standard UK BSP systems
- Malleable iron construction for strength, impact resistance, and dependable weldability where required
- Black finish for improved corrosion resistance and a tidy appearance in exposed runs
- Compact overall length of 46 mm helps where space is limited
- Type 181 straight socket pattern for simple in-line connections
- Clean, accurately cut threads for easier starting and tighter sealing with thread sealant or PTFE tape
- Suited to low-to-medium pressure water, air, and general service lines
- Compatible with steel and iron male BSP fittings and pipe nipples
- Useful for maintenance, repair, and small project builds on site or in the workshop
- MPN: 181 112 for easy identification and reorder
Typical Applications:
Commonly used to extend, repair, or adapt BSP pipe runs on heating circuits, cold-water feeds, compressed air lines, coolant loops, and general industrial services. Ideal in plant rooms, fabrication shops, agricultural buildings, and light industrial machinery setups where a compact, robust threaded coupling is needed.
