Description

The BSP Half Socket in stainless steel is a versatile and essential component in piping systems, designed to connect two BSP (British Standard Pipe) threaded ends together in a secure and leak-proof manner. This fitting features a female BSP thread on one end and a plain socket on the other, allowing it to be easily screwed onto a male threaded pipe or fitting to create a solid connection.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this half socket offers exceptional corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability. Stainless steel is particularly well-suited for environments where hygiene, reliability, and resistance to corrosion are critical, such as in food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical industries, and marine applications. Its inert nature ensures compatibility with a wide range of fluids and protects against contamination, making it suitable for sanitary and high-purity applications.

The precision machining of the threads and the smooth interior of the socket ensure a tight and secure fit when connected to compatible male threaded fittings or pipes. This secure connection is essential for maintaining system integrity, preventing leaks, and ensuring efficient fluid flow. The robust construction of stainless steel also contributes to the longevity and reliability of the half socket, even under demanding operational conditions.
