These A2 stainless steel BSP male thread elbow fittings deliver a clean 90° directional change in water, air, and fluid lines — without the rust risk of carbon steel or the fragility of brass in demanding environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach fitting is machined from A2 (Grade 304) stainless steel with male BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads on both ends. Available in equal configurations (same size both ends) and reducing configurations (two different sizes), sizes range from 1\/4\" to 2\" — covering the most common residential and light industrial pipe diameters. Both 1-piece and 2-piece quantity options are available so you can stock up or grab exactly what you need for a single repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications include redirecting water supply lines in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms; routing compressed air lines around obstacles in workshops and garages; connecting irrigation or garden water systems; and plumbing fluid transfer lines in light industrial or marine-adjacent environments where corrosion resistance matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- ② COMPATIBILITY BAR --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e🔗\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e BSP (British Standard Pipe) — Male thread both ends.

BSP sizes are nominal — a 1\/2\" BSP fitting typically has an actual thread OD of approximately 20.9mm (≈0.82\").

BSP threads have a 55° thread angle and parallel or tapered profiles (BSPP\/BSPT), while NPT uses a 60° angle. Using BSP-to-NPT adapters is possible but may require additional sealing.
