TDM Brass 105M3480 Threaded Extension, Male/Male, 3/4" x 80 mm

The TDM Brass 105M3480 threaded extension is a precision-engineered component designed for professional plumbing and heating systems. Constructed from high-quality brass, this male-to-male fitting provides a robust and reliable connection for extending pipe runs. With a standard 3/4-inch external thread and an 80 mm length, it ensures compatibility with a wide range of hydraulic installations, offering a secure and leak-proof solution for industrial and residential piping projects.

Advantages

This brass extension is characterized by its exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of plumbing systems over time. The precision-machined threads allow for a tight, secure fit that minimizes the risk of leaks and ensures efficient fluid flow. Its solid brass construction provides high thermal stability, making it suitable for both hot and cold water applications, while the standardized sizing ensures easy integration into existing piping networks without the need for complex modifications.

Suitable for

• Extending pipe connections in residential plumbing systems
• Connecting components in heating and cooling circuits
• Industrial hydraulic installations requiring precise spacing
• Adapting threaded connections in water supply lines

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use in systems involving highly corrosive chemicals or gases that are incompatible with brass materials. It should also not be used in high-pressure steam applications that exceed the rated specifications of standard brass fittings.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection type: Male/Male external thread
• Thread diameter: 3/4 inch
• Length: 80 mm

How to use

To install the TDM Brass extension, ensure that the mating pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or a liquid pipe sealant, to the male threads to ensure a watertight seal. Screw the extension into the corresponding female fittings by hand until firm, then use a suitable wrench to tighten it further, 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 at the connection points.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 3/4-inch thread size matches your existing pipe infrastructure
• Ensure the 80 mm length is sufficient for your specific spacing requirements
• Confirm that the system medium is compatible with brass materials
• Check that your installation tools are appropriate for brass fittings to avoid surface damage

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect all threaded connections for signs of wear or moisture accumulation. If the system is subject to frequent thermal expansion and contraction, periodically check the tightness of the fitting to maintain a secure seal.
