Brass Extension Nipple FERRO P50Z 1/2" 50 mm

FERRO P50Z is a brass extension nipple with a 1/2" threaded connection and a 50 mm length, designed for plumbing installations that require a short, reliable extension between fittings. Made of brass, this metal fitting offers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for use in standard water supply systems and common household plumbing repairs and modifications. The straightforward design ensures compatibility with other 1/2" threads and simplifies installation when additional reach is needed without changing pipe routing.

Advantages

The brass construction delivers durable performance and natural resistance to corrosion, suitable for contact with potable water. The 1/2" thread provides wide compatibility with typical residential and light commercial plumbing components. Its compact 50 mm length gives a precise extension where space is limited, enabling secure coupling between fixtures, valves, and pipe sections. The solid-metal body ensures mechanical stability and reduces the risk of deformation under normal operating pressures.

Suitable for

• Extending fittings or valves with 1/2" threaded connections
• Domestic water supply repairs and modifications
• Connecting fixtures in tight spaces where a short extension is required
• Temporary or permanent plumbing adjustments in bathrooms and kitchens

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Thread size: 1/2"
• Length: 50 mm
• Application: water supply and general household plumbing

How to use

Before installation, ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male thread if a leak-tight connection is required. Screw the extension nipple into the corresponding 1/2" female fitting by hand, then tighten with a wrench to the recommended torque for brass fittings, taking care not to overtighten and damage threads. Check the assembled connection for leaks under normal system pressure and retighten slightly if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use in potable water systems only with compatible fittings and approved sealants. Avoid excessive mechanical stress or bending forces at the joint; support adjacent pipes or fixtures to prevent strain on the nipple. For installations exposed to aggressive environments or high chloride content, verify material suitability and local regulations before use.
