Hanwha SBP-C35H Pipe Converter
Overview
The Hanwha SBP-C35H is a precision threaded pipe adapter engineered to solve a common integration friction point in multi-camera surveillance deployments: standardizing mounting configurations across different bracket and support sizes. This converter translates 3/4" female PF (pipe fitting) threads to 1.5" female PF, enabling you to pair mismatched mounting hardware without sourcing custom fabrication or redesigning support structures.
Thread size mismatches are a silent installation delay—they force you to either order alternate brackets, machine adapters on-site, or swap out mounting components entirely. The SBP-C35H eliminates that friction by sitting between your existing pole or bracket and your camera mount, adapting on the fly. This is particularly useful in retrofit or multi-vendor deployments where Hanwha IP cameras are added to existing infrastructure built around different standards.
Key Features
- Thread Conversion (3/4" to 1.5" female PF): Solves size-mismatch problems without custom machining or bracket substitution. If your pole supports 3/4" fittings but your bracket requires 1.5", this adapter bridges the gap in seconds—no drilling, no welding, no production downtime.
- Aluminum Construction with White RAL 9003 Finish: Aluminum is lightweight (115 g total weight means negligible structural load on poles or arms) yet rigid enough to support camera and housing weight without flex or play. The white finish blends into typical outdoor installations and resists UV degradation better than unpainted metal or bare aluminum.
- Compact Profile (ø56 × 70 mm): The small footprint—2.20 inches diameter, 2.76 inches tall—means tight mounting spaces don't require additional repositioning. It doesn't protrude far enough to create wind-catch issues or complicate cable routing above or below the mount point.
- Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum naturally resists oxidation in outdoor and wet environments. No plating peeling, no rust bloom—critical if you're deploying in coastal, industrial, or high-humidity zones where steel adapters degrade within months. The finish is UV-stable, so color retention is maintained across multiple seasons.
- Lightweight Design (115 g / 0.25 lb): Minimal weight means you can confidently install the SBP-C35H (often searched as SBP C35H) on ceiling mounts, pendant arms, or wall brackets without recalculating load ratings. The adapter itself won't tip your structural safety margins or require upgraded support hardware.
- Compatible with Hanwha Vision Mounting Accessories: The SBP-C35H integrates directly with surveillance mounting systems using standard pipe fittings. It's a passive mechanical component—no power, no electronics, no firmware—so it works with any camera or housing that threads onto the 1.5" female output, regardless of brand.
Integration & Compatibility
The SBP-C35H is purpose-built for surveillance mounting infrastructure using standard NPT or PF (pipe fitting) threads. Because it's a passive mechanical adapter with no active electronics, it pairs with any camera, housing, or bracket that matches the thread specifications on either end.
Critical compatibility check: Confirm that your existing bracket has a 3/4" female PF input thread and your pole, pendant arm, or support receptacle accepts 1.5" female PF output threads before ordering. Thread mismatches will not engage. If you're unsure about your current mounting hardware's thread size, measure the diameter of the fitting opening or consult the bracket manufacturer's documentation.
In retrofit scenarios where you're mixing Hanwha and legacy mounting standards, the SBP-C35H eliminates the need for custom fabrication, saving weeks of lead time and sourcing complexity. This adapter also reduces spare-parts inventory overhead—instead of stocking multiple bracket variants, you maintain a smaller inventory of standard brackets and a few adapters to bridge size gaps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use the SBP-C35H with non-Hanwha brackets?
A: Yes. The SBP-C35H is a standard 3/4" female PF to 1.5" female PF pipe fitting converter. It works with any bracket or housing that uses 3/4" female PF input and any pole or support with 1.5" female PF receptacles, regardless of brand.
Q: What material is the SBP-C35H made from?
A: Aluminum with a white RAL 9003 finish. Aluminum resists corrosion in outdoor and wet environments, and the white finish blends into typical surveillance installations while providing UV stability.
Q: Will the SBP-C35H add noticeable weight to my mounting system?
A: No. At 115 grams (0.25 lb), the adapter is negligible in weight. You won't need to recalculate structural load ratings or upgrade support hardware.
Q: Can I use the SBP-C35H indoors?
A: Yes. The adapter is passive and has no environmental restrictions. It works indoors and outdoors. If you're installing in a wet or humid indoor environment (e.g., kitchen, pool facility, industrial wash zone), the corrosion-resistant aluminum construction still applies.
Q: What's the thread type—NPT or PF?
A: The SBP-C35H uses female pipe fitting (PF) threads on both ends. Confirm that your existing bracket and support use PF threads; NPT (National Pipe Thread) is tapered and will not work with PF. Check your bracket datasheet or measure the fitting carefully.
Q: Can I paint the SBP-C35H a different color?
A: The white RAL 9003 finish is factory-applied. If you need a different color, a standard spray paint for aluminum (e.g., RAL 7035 light gray, RAL 9016 traffic white) can be applied on-site. Ensure the paint is UV-resistant to avoid peeling in outdoor exposure.

The SBP-C35H is a straightforward solution to a real pain point in mixed-vendor surveillance installs. At 115 grams and just 56 mm in diameter, it's small enough that you can retrofit it into tight spaces without rewiring or repositioning equipment—and the white aluminum finish doesn't look out of place on a roofline or wall bracket.
Technical Highlights:
- Thread Conversion (3/4" to 1.5" PF): Eliminates custom fabrication delays. Instead of waiting weeks for a machine shop to thread a bespoke adapter, you screw this in and move on. In a 50-camera retrofit where poles use different fitting standards, this saves days of installation time.
- Aluminum + UV-Stable Finish: White RAL 9003 won't oxidize or peel in coastal or high-humidity environments. Unpainted aluminum would gray out; bare steel would rust. This finish choice matters for 5+ year deployments without maintenance.
- Minimal Weight (0.25 lb): You won't trip structural load limits on pendant arms or thin ceiling mounts. Load calculations remain unchanged—no need to upgrade hardware or call a structural engineer.
Deployment Considerations:
- Thread type is critical: the SBP-C35H uses female pipe fittings (PF). If your existing bracket or pole is NPT (National Pipe Thread—tapered), this adapter won't thread on. Verify both ends of your mounting chain before ordering.
- This is a passive mechanical component with zero electronics. It will not fail electrically, but cross-threading or over-torquing on installation can damage the aluminum threads. Hand-tighten plus a light wrench turn is sufficient—don't muscle it.
The SBP-C35H is a no-brainer for retrofits or multi-site rollouts where pole and bracket standards vary. If you're standardizing on Hanwha mounting hardware and running into size mismatches, this adapter pays for itself the first time it prevents a bracket order substitution or on-site machining delay.
