Product Description

A Brass Hex Nipple BSP Reducing 6mm x 3mm is a type of plumbing fitting used to connect pipes of different sizes, specifically in systems involving BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads. The 6mm x 3mm indicates the size difference between the two sides of the nipple, where one side is 6mm (for a larger pipe) and the other side is 3mm (for a smaller pipe). The brass material ensures durability and resistance to corrosion.

Key Features:

Material: Brass, known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to handle high temperatures and pressures. It is commonly used in plumbing, gas, and water systems.
BSP Threading: BSP threads are used primarily in the UK and other regions following British standards. BSP threads can either be BSPT (Tapered) or BSPP (Parallel). It’s important to ensure you select the correct type based on your system’s needs.
Hexagonal Shape: The hex nipple has a hexagonal body, which makes it easy to grip with a wrench or other tool when tightening or loosening.
Reducing Size: The nipple has different-sized ends, allowing it to connect a 6mm BSP thread on one side and a 3mm BSP thread on the other side. This is useful for transitioning between pipes of different diameters in a plumbing or gas system.

Applications:

Plumbing Systems: Connecting pipes of different sizes in water or heating systems.
Gas Systems: Often used in gas installations where different pipe sizes need to be connected securely.
HVAC Systems: Can be used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems that require pipe fittings.
General Industrial Use: Can also be used in industrial equipment requiring a secure and durable connection between pipes of different sizes.

Example Usage:

Connecting a 6mm BSP pipe (perhaps for a main water supply) to a 3mm BSP pipe (perhaps for a branch or accessory).
Used in situations where two different sizes of pipe need to be securely connected with a tight and leak-proof fitting.

Installation:

Make sure to use the correct thread sealant or Teflon tape on the threads when installing to ensure a leak-free connection.
Tighten the hex nipple using an adjustable wrench or pipe wrench.
