Brass Extension Pipe kfa² 1/2" 30 mm (model 170-204-98)

Brass Extension Pipe kfa² 1/2" 30 mm is a compact plumbing component designed to extend fittings, taps or hose connections by 30 mm. Manufactured from brass, the extension pipe provides a corrosion-resistant connection point for residential and light commercial water systems. The part is intended to be installed inline with 1/2" threaded plumbing fixtures to achieve the required additional reach without altering existing piping layouts.

Advantages

The brass construction offers good resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring stable performance in potable water applications and typical indoor plumbing environments. Its 1/2" threaded connection ensures compatibility with standard fixtures and fittings, while the short 30 mm length makes it suitable for tight installations where only a small extension is necessary. The product's simple, single-piece design reduces potential leak points and facilitates straightforward installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Extending taps, faucets or mixers with 1/2" threaded connections
• Creating a small offset in shower, basin or sink installations
• Connecting hoses or accessories that require an additional 30 mm reach
• Repair or retrofit work in residential and light commercial plumbing

Key specifications

• Material: brass for corrosion resistance and mechanical stability
• Connection: 1/2" threaded female/male interface (standard plumbing thread size)
• Length: 30 mm extension to increase reach of existing fittings
• Design: single-piece, cylindrical extension for inline use

How to use

Shut off the water supply before starting installation. Clean the mating threads on both the fixture and the extension pipe, then apply appropriate thread sealant or tape if required by local practice. Thread the extension pipe into the existing fixture by hand, then tighten with a suitable wrench until secure; avoid excessive torque that could damage threads or fittings. Restore water supply and check for leaks at the connection. If a leak is present, tighten slightly or reseal the threads and recheck.

Usage recommendations

Use the extension pipe only with compatible 1/2" plumbing fixtures and in systems that do not exceed typical household water pressures. For systems with unusual chemical exposure, high temperatures, or specialized requirements, consult technical guidance to confirm brass compatibility. Periodically inspect the connection for signs of leakage or corrosion and retighten or replace as needed.
