Contractors, maintenance technicians, and serious DIYers who work with BSP-threaded systems need a union adapter that threads on cleanly, seals reliably, and holds up to daily use without rusting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach adapter is machined from 304 stainless steel and features a male BSP thread on one end and a female BSP thread on the other, with a union-style body that allows easy disconnection for maintenance. Available in eight BSP sizes from 1\/4\" (DN8) to 2\" (DN50) — sold individually (1 pcs per order). Thread dimensions follow the BSP standard: for example, BSP 1\/2\" (DN15) has a nominal thread OD of approximately 20.9mm (≈0.82\"), and BSP 1\" (DN25) has a nominal thread OD of approximately 33.2mm (≈1.31\").
