Extension Pipe Distar L200 1/2" GAS, model 251222, length 200 mm

Distar Extension Pipe L200 is a 200 mm metal extension with a 1/2" GAS (BSP) threaded connection designed to extend or join threaded gas and fluid fittings. The straight cylindrical pipe provides a short rigid extension to adapt reach or alignment of existing plumbing, gas or industrial piping systems. Constructed for mechanical stability and straightforward installation, the extension pipe is intended for use where a compact, durable length increase is required without changing thread type.

Advantages

The extension pipe offers a precise 200 mm length that helps maintain alignment between threaded connections while minimizing stress on adjoining fittings. Its 1/2" GAS threaded interface ensures compatibility with standard BSP fittings used in plumbing and gas installations. Made of metal, the part provides rigidity and resistance to deformation under normal installation torque, delivering a reliable mechanical extension without the need for custom fabrication.

Suitable for

• Extending reach between closely spaced threaded fittings in plumbing systems
• Adapting alignment in gas distribution and appliance connections
• Short rigid extensions in industrial fluid piping and equipment assemblies
• Replacement of worn or corroded short connectors where a fixed length is needed

Key specifications

• Length: 200 mm
• Thread type: 1/2" GAS (BSP)
• Material: metal (manufactured for mechanical stability)
• Form: straight cylindrical extension pipe
• Connection: threaded both ends for joining compatible fittings

How to use

Ensure both mating fittings are clean and undamaged before installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape compatible with the conveyed medium and local regulations. Hand-start the pipe into the first mating thread, then tighten using suitable tools until the required alignment and seal are achieved, taking care not to exceed recommended torque for connected components. Verify final alignment and check for leaks or mechanical stress after system pressurization.

Usage recommendations

Use the extension pipe only with compatible 1/2" GAS (BSP) fittings and within the pressure, temperature, and media limits of the system. Select appropriate thread sealant and follow local codes for gas or fluid installations. Inspect connections periodically for tightness and signs of corrosion or wear.
