Key Features & Benefits
- Steps 1″ male down to 1/2″ male — joins two different-size female ports in a single fitting.
- Male threads both ends — connects sockets, couplers and tool inlets across the joint.
- Tapered BSP threads — the BSPT taper helps the joint seal under air pressure when made up with thread tape or sealant.
- Solid brass hex body — corrosion resistant and hard wearing, with spanner flats for a firm make-up.
When to Use This Reducing Nipple
Reach for part 0173-1608 when one female port is 1″ BSP and the fitting you are joining is 1/2″ BSP — the reducing nipple bridges the two sizes without an extra adaptor. Wrap the male threads with PTFE tape before fitting for a clean, leak-free seal.
