Galvanised finish – corrosion resistant for long service life

The Hexagon Reducing Bush BSP Galvanised is a versatile fitting designed to connect and reduce between different BSP thread sizes. Manufactured from malleable iron and finished with a galvanised coating, these bushes provide strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial, plumbing, and engineering applications.

Each bush features a hexagon profile, allowing easy tightening with a standard spanner or wrench. The male x female BSP thread connection ensures compatibility with British Standard Pipe fittings, offering a secure and leak-resistant joint.

Built to BS EN 10242 standards (partially superseding BS 143 and BS 1256), these fittings meet rigorous quality requirements and are supplied by ISO 9001:2008 registered companies, guaranteeing consistency and reliability.

The galvanised finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also extends service life, making these bushes ideal for use in demanding environments such as construction sites, mechanical workshops, and plumbing installations.

Available in a wide range of BSP sizes, these reducing bushes provide flexibility across multiple applications. It’s important to note that BSP sizes refer to the nominal bore (internal diameter) of the steel pipe the thread was originally designed for, not the actual thread diameter. To ensure correct sizing, measure the major thread diameter in millimetres and refer to the BSP size chart provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does BSP mean?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe threads. The size refers to the nominal bore of the pipe, not the actual thread diameter.

How do I choose the correct size?

Measure the maximum (major) thread diameter in millimetres and use the BSP chart above to identify the correct size.

Are these bushes corrosion resistant?

Yes, the galvanised finish provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion.
