Description
Designed to connect two BSP male threaded components of different sizes within an imperial pipe system. It provides a straightforward mechanical reduction where solvent welding is not required, making it ideal for adapting pipework, valves or equipment with mismatched thread sizes.
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant PVCu, the reducing socket delivers reliable long-term performance across water supply, industrial and general engineering applications. The precisely formed BSP female threads ensure secure connections at both ends, while the compact reducing design helps maintain neat and efficient pipe layouts.
