Brass Extension Fitting Perfexim 1/2" male-female 40 mm

Brass extension fitting Perfexim 1/2" male-female 40 mm is a short threaded connector intended to extend or adapt 1/2" pipe connections in plumbing and heating systems. Made from solid brass, the fitting provides corrosion resistance and reliable mechanical stability for potable water, central heating and general pipework where a compact threaded extension is required. The male-to-female configuration allows straightforward connection between existing threaded components without changing pipe layout.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures good resistance to corrosion and long-term dimensional stability in typical domestic and light-commercial installations. Its compact 40 mm length offers a neat solution when only a small extension is needed, reducing the need for additional adapters. The male-female thread arrangement simplifies installation by enabling direct coupling of threaded fittings, valves or pipes. The fitting is compatible with standard 1/2" BSP-type threaded plumbing components commonly used in water and heating systems.

Suitable for

• Extending or adapting 1/2" threaded pipe connections
• Domestic potable water supply lines
• Central heating and radiators connections
• Repairing or replacing short threaded sections in pipework
• Plumbing projects requiring compact brass connectors

Key specifications

• Material: solid brass for corrosion resistance
• Connection type: 1/2" male to 1/2" female threaded
• Length: 40 mm overall
• Application: potable water, heating systems and general pipework
• Finish: machined brass surface suitable for sealing with thread tape or compound

How to use

Prepare the mating threads by cleaning any debris and removing old sealing material. Apply an appropriate thread sealant such as PTFE tape or pipe joint compound to the male thread according to manufacturer recommendations. Screw the fitting into the female thread by hand, then tighten with a suitable wrench until snug; avoid over-torquing to prevent thread damage. After installation, pressure-test the connection at working pressure to verify there are no leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible thread sealants rated for potable water when installing in drinking water systems. For installations in heating systems, ensure the sealing material and brass are suitable for the system temperature and pressure. Inspect threads for damage before installation and replace the fitting if deformities are present.
