Description
This ABS barrel nipple provides a straightforward method for transitioning between a solvent welded ABS system and a BSPT threaded connection. The plain male spigot is designed to be bonded into an ABS fitting or pipe socket using solvent cement and cleaner, forming a strong and permanent joint. The opposite end features a tapered BSPT male thread, allowing secure mechanical connection to threaded components such as valves, gauges or adaptors. Manufactured from tough ABS, the fitting offers dependable impact resistance, low moisture uptake and stable performance in a wide variety of industrial applications. Its compact design makes it ideal for installations where a simple, direct transition is required.
