TDM Brass Longscrew 1/2 inch x 200 mm

The TDM Brass longscrew is a high-quality plumbing component engineered for extending pipe connections within water supply and heating infrastructure. Constructed from durable brass, this fitting provides a robust and reliable solution for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike who require a secure, leak-proof extension in their piping systems. With a standard 1/2 inch diameter and a 200 mm length, it offers the necessary reach for complex installations where standard fittings may fall short.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this brass longscrew is its exceptional material durability, which resists corrosion and ensures a long service life even in demanding heating or water supply environments. Its precise threading allows for a tight, secure fit, significantly reducing the risk of leaks and maintenance issues. The extended 200 mm length provides versatility in tight spaces or configurations where pipes need to bridge gaps between components, making it an essential tool for achieving accurate plumbing layouts.

Suitable for

• Extending pipe connections in residential water supply systems
• Connecting components in heating circuits
• Plumbing installations requiring specific spacing between pipe ends
• Professional and domestic plumbing repairs

When it may not be suitable

This component is designed specifically for 1/2 inch threaded systems and will not be compatible with pipes of different diameters or non-standard thread types. It is not intended for high-pressure industrial steam applications or systems involving highly corrosive chemicals that may degrade brass over time.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection type: 1/2 inch outer thread
• Total length: 200 mm
• Application: Water supply and heating systems

How to use

To install the TDM Brass longscrew, ensure the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or liquid sealant, to the threaded ends to guarantee a watertight seal. Screw the fitting into the corresponding female threaded components using a suitable wrench, ensuring it is tightened sufficiently without over-torquing, which could damage the threads or the fitting itself.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size of your existing pipes to ensure compatibility with the 1/2 inch standard
• Check the available space to ensure the 200 mm length is appropriate for your specific installation
• Ensure you have the necessary plumbing tools, such as a pipe wrench, for proper installation
• Confirm that the brass material is suitable for the specific fluid or temperature conditions of your system

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the connection for leaks after installation by pressurizing the system slowly. If any moisture appears, tighten the fitting slightly or re-apply the thread sealant to ensure a perfect seal.
