Description
Overview:
Weldable Malleable Iron Female Sockets, Black, Type 181, 1.1/4" BSP, are straight inline connectors used to join two male-threaded pipes of the same size. Made from tough malleable iron with a black (self-colour) finish, this socket provides a durable threaded joint for water, air, oil and general service lines found in plumbing, heating, and light industrial systems. The 1.1/4" BSP size (approx. 31.75 mm nominal) mates with standard British Standard Pipe threads for reliable compatibility. At 47 mm overall length, it is compact enough for tight runs while maintaining good thread engagement. Suitable for use around construction sites, workshops, plant rooms and agricultural setups, it offers a straightforward way to extend, repair or re-route pipework on machinery and fixed installations.
Key Features:
- Durable malleable iron body for strength and impact resistance in everyday trade use
- Black finish (non-galvanised) for welding and painting where required
- Female BSP threading at both ends for joining two male-threaded pipes of the same size
- 1.1/4" BSP (approx. 31.75 mm nominal) for common medium-bore pipework
- Compact 47 mm length for use in confined spaces and retrofit repairs
- Clean, straight bore to promote proper thread engagement and sealing with tape or compound
- Suitable for water, air and general service lines within the fitting's normal application range
- Simple to fit with basic hand tools; no special adapters needed for like-for-like joints
- Robust choice for maintenance tasks on plant, compressors, heaters and pumps
- Type 181 pattern for a standard female-to-female socket form factor
Typical Applications:
Connecting or extending threaded pipe runs on building services, workshop airlines, irrigation lines, coolant or lubrication circuits, and general plumbing on machinery. Useful for maintenance on construction equipment wash bays, pressure washer feeds, small compressors, boiler rooms, and agricultural water systems where a compact female-to-female joint is required.
