The TDM Brass short screw is a precision-engineered threaded extension piece designed for professional plumbing and heating applications. Constructed from high-quality brass, this component provides a robust and reliable connection for extending pipe runs where additional length is required. Its standard 1/2-inch outer thread ensures compatibility with a wide range of hydraulic fittings, making it an essential part for maintaining or upgrading residential and commercial water systems.
Advantages
This brass extension piece offers exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, which is vital for long-term performance in water-carrying systems. The use of high-grade brass material prevents rust and ensures that the connection remains secure and leak-free over time. Its standardized dimensions allow for easy integration into existing plumbing setups, providing a straightforward solution for bridging gaps between pipe ends or connecting fixtures that are positioned further apart than standard fittings allow.
Suitable for
- Extending pipe connections in residential plumbing systems
- Connecting heating system components
- Bridging gaps in hydraulic installations
- Adapting pipe lengths for water supply lines
This component may not be suitable for high-pressure industrial steam applications or systems involving highly corrosive chemicals that could degrade the brass material. It is also not intended for structural support or applications where the connection will be subjected to significant mechanical vibration or extreme torque.
Key specifications
- Material: Brass
- Connection type: 1/2 inch outer thread
- Length: 200 mm
To install the TDM Brass short screw, ensure that the existing pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or liquid pipe sealant, to the outer threads to ensure a watertight seal. Carefully thread the extension piece into the corresponding female fittings and tighten using a suitable wrench, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the threads or the fitting itself. Once installed, pressurize the system slowly to check for any signs of leakage.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 1/2-inch diameter matches your existing pipe fittings
- Ensure the 200 mm length is sufficient for your specific installation gap
- Check that your system is compatible with brass fittings
- Confirm that the operating pressure of your system is within standard plumbing limits
For optimal performance and safety, always inspect the connection for leaks immediately after installation and periodically during routine maintenance. Ensure that the plumbing system is depressurized before attempting any installation or adjustment of the screw.
