Brass Connector kfa² 3/8" (MPN 944-740-10) for Plumbing and Heating Connections

Brass Connector kfa² 3/8" is a compact threaded fitting made of brass for plumbing and heating connections. It is intended to join pipes, hoses or fixtures in domestic and commercial water and heating systems where a durable, corrosion-resistant connector is required. The connector's 3/8" nominal size matches standard fittings used in many installations and enables a secure mechanical and fluid-tight connection when installed with compatible threaded components and appropriate sealing.

Advantages

The brass construction provides good resistance to corrosion and wear in water and heating environments while offering dimensional stability under typical temperature ranges of domestic systems. Its compact threaded design simplifies installation in confined spaces and reduces the need for additional adapters. The connector is compatible with commonly used 3/8" threaded plumbing parts and supports reliable sealing when used with suitable thread sealant or sealing tape.

Suitable for

• Joining water supply pipes and hoses in domestic plumbing
• Connecting components in central heating systems
• Linking fixtures such as taps, valves or flow meters to pipework
• Use in small commercial installations requiring compact threaded fittings

Key specifications

• Material: brass (corrosion-resistant plumbing grade)
• Nominal size: 3/8" threaded connection
• Connection type: threaded fitting suitable for standard 3/8" threads
• Application medium: water and heating fluids
• Design: compact, suitable for confined mounting locations

How to use

Prepare mating threads by ensuring both the connector and the receiving fitting are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads if required for the intended application and system pressure. Hand-start the connector onto the mating thread to avoid cross-threading, then tighten using a suitable wrench until a secure, leak-free connection is achieved. Do not overtighten; follow the torque recommendations of the mating component or system documentation where available. After installation, pressure-test the connection according to local plumbing or heating standards.

Usage recommendations

Use this brass connector with compatible 3/8" threaded components and standard sealing materials. Avoid exposure to aggressive chemical agents not intended for brass, and inspect connections periodically for signs of wear or leaks, especially after system pressure changes or thermal cycling.
