How to use

To install the TDM Brass threaded pipe extender, first ensure that the existing pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply a suitable thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or a professional pipe joint compound, to the male threads of the extender.

Once installed, pressurize the system slowly to check for any signs of leakage at the connection point.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1/2 inch thread size matches your existing piping system
• Ensure that the 10 mm length is sufficient for your specific extension requirements
• Check for material compatibility to prevent galvanic corrosion
• Confirm that your installation tools are the correct size for the fitting

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the connection for leaks after the initial installation and periodically during routine maintenance of your plumbing system to ensure long-term integrity.
