Description
This PVCu reducing threaded nipple is designed to connect two BSP female threaded components of different sizes within an imperial pipe system. It provides a simple and compact way to reduce thread size without the need for additional adaptors, making it ideal for space-constrained installations and system modifications.
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant PVCu, the reducing nipple provides reliable long-term performance across various water systems, industrial installations, and general engineering applications. The accurately formed BSP threads ensure secure mechanical joints when installed with a suitable thread sealant, while the straight internal bore helps maintain consistent flow through the transition.
