Description
Polypropylene Reducing Socket – Female BSPP Threaded
Our Polypropylene Reducing Socket is designed to connect two different sizes of male BSP threaded fittings, providing a reliable and corrosion-resistant connection in irrigation, agricultural and water supply systems.
Manufactured from durable black polypropylene (PP), this reducing socket features female BSPP parallel threads at both ends, allowing larger threaded connections to be reduced to a smaller size. With a 10 bar working pressure rating, it offers a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to traditional metal threaded reducing fittings.
Ideal for use with threaded valves, pipe fittings, pumps and manifolds, these polypropylene reducing sockets provide a practical solution for adapting different BSP thread sizes in water distribution and industrial pipework installations.

Typical Applications
Polypropylene reducing sockets are commonly used to adapt different male threaded connections in irrigation networks, agricultural water systems, pump installations, manifolds and general water distribution pipework.
Their non-metallic construction makes them particularly suitable for outdoor environments and installations where resistance to rust and corrosion is important.
Installation Note: BSPP threads are parallel and require a suitable sealing arrangement to achieve a watertight connection. Ensure the sealing method is compatible with the mating fittings and avoid overtightening, as excessive force may damage polypropylene threads.
