Brass Connector kfa² 3/8" (944-700-10) — plumbing fitting, female/male coupling

The Brass Connector kfa² 3/8" (944-700-10) is a compact metal plumbing fitting designed to join pipes, hoses or fixtures with a 3/8" threaded connection. Manufactured in brass, the connector provides a corrosion-resistant joining point suitable for water supply, heating circuits and sanitary installations. Its female/male coupling configuration allows straightforward connection between components with matching threads and helps maintain a reliable sealed joint in domestic and light-commercial plumbing systems.

Advantages

The brass construction offers good resistance to corrosion and scaling in potable water and heating systems while ensuring mechanical durability. The 3/8" thread size is common for many household and appliance connections, making the connector a versatile part for repairs and installations. Its compact form factor facilitates installation in confined spaces and simplifies alignment when joining components with female and male threads.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply connections
• Heating circuit fittings and radiator connections
• Sanitary installations such as sinks and washbasins
• Repair and replacement of 3/8" threaded hoses and valves

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Connection type: female/male coupling
• Thread size: 3/8"
• Application: plumbing for water supply, heating and sanitary systems
• Form factor: compact coupling suitable for confined spaces

How to use

Before installation, ensure water supply is shut off and connected components are depressurized. Clean threads on both mating parts to remove debris and old sealing materials. Thread the male end into the female counterpart by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten using an appropriate wrench until a secure, leak-free connection is achieved. Use thread sealant tape or suitable pipe sealant on the threads if required by the application or local plumbing codes. After installation, restore water flow and check the joint for leaks under operating pressure.

Usage recommendations

Choose the correct thread sealing method for the media and temperature range in your system. For potable water, use approved sealing materials. Inspect fittings periodically for signs of corrosion or leakage, and avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage.
