TDM Brass Threaded Union 3/4 inch x 16 mm x 2 inch

The TDM Brass threaded union is a professional-grade plumbing fitting engineered to provide secure and durable connections within water supply and heating infrastructure. Constructed from high-quality brass, this component offers excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments. Its precise design facilitates a tight, leak-proof seal, making it an essential element for maintaining the integrity of piping systems.

Advantages

This brass union stands out due to its robust construction which withstands significant pressure and temperature fluctuations common in residential and commercial plumbing. The material properties of brass prevent rust and degradation, extending the service life of the connection point. Its standardized dimensions allow for seamless integration into existing pipe networks, reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of joint failure.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Heating and radiator piping
• Professional plumbing maintenance and repairs
• Connecting pipes of different materials or diameters

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with highly corrosive chemical agents or industrial gases that may react with brass. It is also not suitable for high-pressure steam applications exceeding the manufacturer's specified temperature and pressure ratings.

Key specifications

• Thread size: 3/4 inch
• Connection diameter: 16 mm
• Total length: 2 inches
• Material: Brass

How to use

To install the union, ensure the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the threaded sections to enhance the seal. Align the union carefully with the pipe ends and tighten using a suitable wrench, ensuring not to overtighten, which could damage the threads or the internal seal. Once installed, pressurize the system gradually to check for any signs of leakage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the thread type with your existing piping
• Ensure the 16 mm connection matches your specific pipe diameter
• Check the pressure and temperature requirements of your system

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the connection point for signs of moisture or corrosion during routine system maintenance. If the union is disassembled for repairs, it is recommended to replace the internal sealing elements or reapply thread sealant to maintain a leak-proof connection.
