Brass Extension Pipe 1/2" RED R023301089 – threaded plumbing connector

Brass Extension Pipe 1/2" RED R023301089 is a threaded plumbing connector designed to extend, adapt or repair 1/2" pipe fittings. Manufactured from brass, this extension pipe provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength suitable for water supply, heating and general sanitary installations. The compact threaded design enables straightforward joining of pipes and fittings where extra length or a modified thread engagement is required.

Advantages

The brass construction offers good resistance to corrosion and long-term durability in typical plumbing environments. Threaded ends provide secure mechanical connection without the need for soldering, enabling faster on-site installation and easier maintenance. Its standard 1/2" diameter is compatible with a wide range of domestic and commercial plumbing fittings, making it a practical solution for extending or adapting existing connections.

Suitable for

• Extending 1/2" threaded pipe connections in water supply systems
• Adapting mismatched fittings during repairs or retrofits
• Temporary or permanent connections in heating and sanitary installations
• Use in domestic bathrooms, kitchens and commercial plumbing projects

Key specifications

• Material: brass (corrosion-resistant plumbing alloy)
• Connection type: threaded ends for 1/2" pipe fittings
• Typical use: extension/adaptation of threaded plumbing connections
• Application environment: potable water supply, heating systems, sanitary installations

How to use

Ensure both mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male thread to ensure a watertight joint according to local codes and materials compatibility. Thread the extension pipe by hand to start, then tighten with a suitable wrench until secure; avoid over-tightening which can damage threads or deform fittings. Inspect the assembled connection and test for leaks at working pressure before leaving the installation in service.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible sealants and observe recommended torque values for brass fittings. Avoid aggressive chemical exposure and galvanic contact with dissimilar metals without proper isolation. Regularly inspect joints in systems exposed to variable temperatures or pressures and replace the extension if signs of wear or corrosion appear.
