How to use

To install the TDM Brass extension, ensure that the mating threads on your existing pipes or valves are clean and free of debris. Apply a suitable thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or liquid pipe sealant, to the male threads to ensure a watertight seal. Screw the extension into the female fitting by hand until firm, then use an appropriate wrench to tighten it securely. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the threads or the chrome finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1/2 inch thread size matches your existing plumbing components
• Ensure the 40 mm length is sufficient for your specific spacing requirements
• Check that the system pressure and temperature are within the standard limits for brass fittings

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or leaks after the initial installation and during routine maintenance of your plumbing system. Ensure that no excessive mechanical stress is applied to the extension after it has been installed.
