316 Stainless Steel Reducing Bush BSP

316 Stainless Steel BSP Reducing Bush designed for sanitary, corrosion-resistant plumbing in food & beverage production, marine systems and harsh industrial environments. Precision-machined from premium 316 stainless steel for high strength, durability and leak-free performance.

What This Fitting Does

A reducing bush is used to adapt a larger female BSP thread down to a smaller male thread size. It provides a simple, compact and secure way to reduce port sizes on pumps, valves, manifolds and washdown equipment.

Why Choose a Reducing Bush?

• Ideal for reducing oversized threaded ports to match existing pipework or fittings.
• More compact than reducing sockets, keeping installations neat and space-efficient.
• One-piece construction provides high mechanical strength and pressure integrity.
• Reliable thread engagement ensures consistent sealing and reduced leak potential.

Material Advantages - 316 Stainless Steel

• Excellent resistance to chemicals, saltwater and high-temperature cleaning cycles.
• Safe for brewing, beverage, dairy and food-production environments.
• Preferred for marine, coastal and corrosive applications.
• Maintains structural strength under pressure and frequent use.

Common Applications

• Adapting pump, tank or manifold ports to smaller BSP fittings
• Washdown and hot/cold water plumbing
• Food & beverage processing lines
• Marine and chemical-handling systems

Each reducing bush is precision-machined from solid 316 stainless steel, delivering dependable, hygienic thread transitions for sanitary and corrosive applications.

To ensure maximum service life and safe performance of your equipment, please follow these general care guidelines:

• Clean after use – Rinse or CIP components to remove product, residue or cleaning chemicals.
• Avoid kinks, crushing or sharp bends – Protect hoses and assemblies from mechanical damage.
• Store correctly – Hang hoses or reels where possible; keep fittings and clamps dry and off the floor.
• Inspect regularly – Check for wear, abrasion, loose clamps, damaged gaskets or compromised seals.
• Use compatible cleaning chemicals – Follow manufacturer guidelines for caustic, acid or sanitiser exposure.
• Protect from high heat / UV – Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, heaters or hot surfaces unless rated for it.
• Depressurise before disconnecting – Always release system pressure before removing hoses or fittings.
• Replace worn components promptly – Gaskets, clamps, seals and hose ends should be renewed as needed.
  

Proper routine care extends lifespan, improves hygiene and ensures safe, reliable operation across all brewery, winery, distillery and food-processing environments.
