TDM Brass Extension M/M 1/2" x 100 mm

The TDM Brass Extension M/M 1/2" x 100 mm is a robust plumbing component engineered to provide a reliable extension for pipe connections within water supply and heating networks. Constructed from high-quality brass, this fitting offers excellent durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long service life even in demanding environments. Its precise 1/2-inch male-to-male threading allows for seamless integration into existing plumbing systems, providing a secure and leak-proof connection for various residential and industrial applications.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this brass extension is its superior material quality, which provides high mechanical strength and resistance to temperature fluctuations common in heating systems. The brass construction prevents rust and degradation, maintaining water quality and system integrity over time. Its standardized threading ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard plumbing fixtures, while the 100 mm length provides the necessary reach for complex installations where components need to be spaced further apart.

Suitable for

• Extending pipe connections in residential water supply systems
• Connecting components in central heating networks
• Industrial plumbing installations requiring specific spacing
• Adapting threaded connections in hydraulic systems

When it may not be suitable

This extension is not suitable for applications involving highly corrosive chemical substances that may react with brass. It should also not be used in systems where the operating pressure or temperature exceeds the standard ratings for brass plumbing fittings.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality brass
• Connection type: 1/2 inch male to male thread
• Length: 100 mm
• Compatibility: Standard plumbing pipe systems

How to use

To install the TDM Brass Extension, ensure the pipe system is depressurized and drained. Apply appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or liquid sealant, to the male threads of the extension. Screw the extension into the existing female fitting and tighten it using a suitable wrench, ensuring not to overtighten to avoid damaging the threads. Once installed, connect the other end to the desired component and perform a pressure test to verify that the connection is secure and leak-free.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size of your existing pipes to ensure compatibility with the 1/2 inch connection
• Check the required length to ensure 100 mm is sufficient for your specific installation needs
• Ensure the system pressure and temperature are within the operational limits of brass fittings

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or corrosion during routine maintenance of your plumbing system to ensure continued performance and safety.
