Description
Overview:
The Weldable Malleable Iron Female Socket 1/4" BSP is a tough, general-purpose pipe fitting for building or repairing threaded pipework. Made from malleable iron, it offers good strength and shock resistance while remaining workable for site fabrication. The female BSP thread accepts standard 1/4 inch fittings, giving a compact way to couple components or terminate a welded pipe run with a threaded connection. The nominal size is 1/4 inch (approximately 6.35 mm), making it suitable for small-bore services where space is limited. Typical uses include plumbing and industrial pipeline jobs on plant, workshop services, pumps and compressors. Its weldable design helps achieve a secure, permanent join to steel sections or pipe, while the threaded end provides a reliable interface to valves, nipples, and other BSP components. MPN: 181 014.
Key Features:
- Weldable malleable iron body for a strong, permanent attachment to steel pipework
- 1/4" BSP female thread (nominal 6.35 mm) for compatibility with standard BSP fittings
- Robust construction to handle vibration and everyday mechanical stress
- Compact socket form ideal for confined spaces and retrofit tasks
- Clean, accurately cut threads for a dependable seal with suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape
- Useful for creating a threaded take-off from a welded assembly or coupling small-bore lines
- Suitable for general plumbing and industrial service lines when specified within system limits
- Clear identification: Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) 181 014
Typical Applications:
Connecting 1/4" BSP male fittings to welded pipe runs in small-bore services, plant maintenance, and workshop installations. Common in water supply lines, general air services, cooling circuits, and non-corrosive process lines, subject to system design and media compatibility. Used for fabricating manifolds, adding take-offs to frames or tanks, and coupling instruments, valves, or gauges where a threaded joint is required alongside a welded structure.
