Brass hex bushing reducer pipe fitting with 1/2 inch female BSP thread on one end and 1 inch male BSP thread on the other. This compact reducer provides a reliable, leak resistant connection between BSP threaded components in plumbing and related piping systems. Machined from brass, it combines durability with easy installation in tight spaces thanks to its hex body. Key benefits Reduces from 1 inch male BSP to 1/2 inch female BSP, enabling a size transition in BSPthreaded circuits. Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability suitable for potable water and other BSPthreaded applications. Hex flats on the body facilitate wrench tightening and loosening in confined spaces. Standard BSP threads ensure compatibility with common BSP piping components and fittings. Simple, reliable threaded connection without the need for soldering or welding on compatible systems. Key attributes Material: Brass Thread standards: BSP (British Standard Pipe) End connections: 1/2' female BSP (on one end) and 1' male BSP (on the other end) Type: Hex bushing reducer Size reduction: 1' male BSP to 1/2' female BSP Application: BSPthreaded piping systems requiring a size reduction between components Applications and use cases Domestic plumbing: Connect a 1/2' BSP pipe or valve to a 1' BSP fitting in a household water line. Heating and hydronic systems: Tie together components with different BSP thread sizes in radiator or boiler circuits. General BSP piping projects: Use as a compact reducer in projects where space is limited and a reliable brass connection is required. Installation tips Ensure both mating threads are clean and of debris before installation. Use an appropriate thread sealant compatible with BSP threads (such as PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant) as per system requirements. Hand tighten, then snug with a wrench on the hex flats; avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage. Verify the connection for leaks after installation and pressurization. Note: This description reflects the product's stated material (brass), end connections (1/2' female BSP and 1' male BSP), and its hex bushing reducer design. It is designed for BSPthreaded piping systems and should be used where BSP threading is specified.
