Brass extension fitting FERRO P160Z 3/4" 60 mm - male/male plumbing connector

FERRO P160Z 3/4" 60 mm is a brass extension fitting designed as a male-to-male plumbing connector for extending threaded pipes and fittings. The fitting features solid brass construction that delivers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength suitable for water installations, heating systems and general household plumbing where a short threaded extension is required.

Advantages

The brass material provides good resistance to corrosion and scaling while maintaining dimensional stability under typical domestic water pressures. Its 3/4" thread size and 60 mm length offer a compact solution for bridging small gaps or adjusting the effective length of threaded connections. The male-to-male configuration simplifies assembly with compatible threaded components and helps maintain a stable sealed connection when used with appropriate sealing tape or compound.

Suitable for

• Extending threaded water supply pipes in household plumbing
• Connecting fittings in central heating circuits where a short spacer is required
• Repairing or modifying threaded connections on valves and fixtures
• Applications requiring durable, corrosion-resistant threaded extensions

Key specifications

• Material: brass (solid)
• Thread type: male-to-male threaded connector
• Nominal thread size: 3/4"
• Overall length: 60 mm
• Typical use: water and heating systems, general plumbing

How to use

Clean the mating threads of the pipes or fittings before assembly to remove debris and old sealant. Apply an appropriate thread sealant such as PTFE tape or pipe joint compound to the male threads, then screw the extension fitting into the mating female thread by hand until engaged. Tighten with an appropriate wrench until secure, avoiding excessive torque to prevent thread damage. Inspect the connection under working pressure for leaks and re-tighten or re-seal if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible 3/4" female threaded components and standard plumbing sealing methods. Avoid exposure to environments with aggressive chemicals not intended for brass. For pressurized heating systems, follow local codes and manufacturer guidance when installing and testing connections.
