This brass pipe fitting provides a reliable 3/8 BSPT to 1/4 BSPT male thread reduction in a single piece. The hex nipple design offers a compact, durable connection for BSPT systems where a size change is required. Key benefits Enables size reduction: connects a 3/8 BSPT line to a 1/4 BSPT component without adapters. Brass construction: offering corrosion resistance and long service life in plumbing and related applications. Hex body design: provides a stable grip for wrenches, ensuring a secure, repeatable seal during installation. Singlepiece construction: reduces potential leak points and simplifies assembly. Tapered BSPT threads: designed to seal with appropriate sealant or PTFE tape when used with compatible BSPT fittings. Key attributes Functionality: reduces from 3/8 BSPT on one end to 1/4 BSPT on the other; male hex nipple style. Compatibility: designed for BSPT threaded systems only; not compatible with NPT threads. Size: 3/8 BSPT on the inlet end; 1/4 BSPT on the outlet end. Material: Brass. Performance: precision machined for a clean thread engagement and reliable sealing when used with proper thread sealant. Configuration: male threads on both ends; hex body for tightening. Applications and use cases Plumbing: connect a 3/8 BSPT supply line to a 1/4 BSPT valve or accessory in residential or light commercial plumbing. Irrigation and outdoor systems: adapt 3/8 BSPT irrigation lines to 1/4 BSPT components such as sensors or small valves. HVAC and light industrial: link 3/8 BSPT fittings to 1/4 BSPT components in low to moderate pressure lines where BSPT is used. installation tips Prepare threads: clean the mating threads and apply PTFE tape or appropriate pipe joint compound to the male BSPT threads. Align and mate: screw the fitting into place by hand, then tighten with a wrench until snug. Avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage. Check for leaks: after installation, test with soapy water or a leak detector to confirm a seal. Specifications overview Quantity: 1 piece Material: Brass Thread type: BSPT (British Standard Pipe Tapered) End 1: 3/8 BSPT male End 2: 1/4 BSPT male Body: Hex for wrench grip and tightening Note on compatibility This fitting is intended for BSPT threaded systems. Do not mix BSPT with NPT fittings, as incompatible thread forms can cause leaks or damage. Ensure that all connected components are BSPTcompatible and appropriate sealant is used.
