Brass Extension Nipple FERRO P20Z 1/2" (20 mm)

FERRO P20Z 1/2" (20 mm) brass extension nipple is a short threaded connector designed for extending or joining threaded plumbing fittings. Manufactured from brass, it provides corrosion resistance and stable mechanical performance in water installations and heating systems. The compact 20 mm length makes it suitable where limited space requires a brief threaded extension while maintaining a standard 1/2" thread interface.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures durability and good resistance to corrosion in typical domestic and commercial water systems. Its standardized 1/2" thread allows compatibility with common plumbing fixtures and valves. The 20 mm length gives a reliable extension without significantly altering system geometry, and the solid-machined finish supports leak-tight connections when used with appropriate sealing methods.

Suitable for

• Extending threaded valves, fittings and taps in water supply systems
• Short repairs and replacements in heating system connections
• Situations with limited installation depth or tight clearances
• General plumbing tasks requiring a brief, threaded extension

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Thread size: 1/2" (compatible with standard 1/2" fittings)
• Overall extension length: 20 mm
• Finish: machined brass surface
• Application fluids: potable water and heating media (as appropriate for brass)

How to use

To install, ensure mating threads are clean and undamaged, apply an appropriate thread sealant such as PTFE tape or thread sealant paste to the male thread, and screw the extension nipple into the receiving fitting by hand. Tighten with a suitable wrench until firm; avoid excessive torque to prevent thread damage. After installation, pressurize the system and inspect the joint for leaks, retightening if necessary within recommended torque limits.

Usage recommendations

Choose compatible sealing materials and follow local plumbing codes. For systems with aggressive water chemistry or temperatures outside normal domestic ranges, verify material suitability. Periodically inspect threaded joints for signs of corrosion or leakage and replace the extension nipple if deterioration is observed.
