Choosing the right option
Read the size as large x small: 2" x 1" has a 2" female thread on one end and a 1" female thread on the other. Both ends are female, so each side needs a male BSP thread. For a male thread on the smaller side, use a reducing bush instead. BSP threads do not mate with NPT or metric threads, so confirm the thread on every mating part before you order.
