Brass Extension Fitting FERRO P30Z 1/2" (12.7 mm) x 30 mm

FERRO P30Z 1/2" (12.7 mm) x 30 mm is a solid brass extension fitting designed for plumbing installations that require a reliable short extension between threaded components. The fitting provides a secure mechanical connection and corrosion resistance typical of brass materials, making it suitable for potable water, heating and sanitary systems. Its 30 mm length and standard 1/2" threaded interface allow straightforward integration into existing pipework and fixtures.

Advantages

The brass construction offers durability and resistance to corrosion while maintaining dimensional stability under normal plumbing conditions. The standard 1/2" thread ensures compatibility with common threaded pipes and fittings. The compact 30 mm length provides a precise and compact extension without adding unnecessary bulk. The solid design supports mechanical strength for a lasting connection in residential and commercial installations.

Suitable for

• Extending threaded connections in potable water systems
• Creating short extensions in heating system pipework
• Adjusting fixture positioning in sanitary installations
• Repairing or replacing short threaded sections in plumbing assemblies

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Thread size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Length: 30 mm
• Type: extension fitting / connector

How to use

Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape compatible with potable water systems to the male thread if required by local plumbing practice. Screw the fitting into place by hand to engage threads, then tighten with a suitable wrench until secure, taking care not to overtighten and risk damaging threads. Verify alignment of adjoining components and test the system under pressure according to applicable standards.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible thread sealants rated for drinking water when installing in potable water systems. Inspect threads for wear or damage before reuse, and avoid excessive torque to preserve thread integrity. For installations involving high temperatures or aggressive fluids, confirm material suitability and system compatibility.
