Swept bend
I have a device (which provides low pressure air flow) that has a male
1" BSP thread on the end ..... this goes into a clearance hole and fastened by a 1" BSP nut. I want to move this out so that it joins via a swept bend something less than 90 degree (70 or 80 would suffice) or 110 degree if looking at the bend angle. I need 1" BSP parallel male thread on one end and 1" BSp parallel female on the other. something like: https://imgur.com/a/puIIz3d My thought are I take a piece of 28mm copper pipe, bend to suitable radius. On one end solder a 28mm x 1" BSP male endfeed https://tinyurl.com/rf8dlwa On the other a 28mm x 1" BSP Female endfeed https://tinyurl.com/ssgkrng Anybody know of a neater way ? Needs to be copper/brass (not iron) |

Needs to be copper/brass (not iron) All available but you need to search for bronze, (appearance indistiguishable from brass but more corrosion resistant. Pricey!

Not a marine application, is it? |

I could probably get away with just 45 degree rather than 90 a 45 degree Male to Female 1" BSP ..... caveat is the male threads must be parallel, on fittings I have found female are parallel, but male are tapered. Would also accept Stainless. |
