TDM Brass 1/2 inch x 100 mm Male/Female Extension Fitting

The TDM Brass 1/2 inch x 100 mm Male/Female Extension Fitting is a robust plumbing component engineered for extending pipe connections within water supply and heating systems. Constructed from high-quality brass, this fitting provides a reliable solution for bridging gaps in hydraulic networks where standard pipe lengths are insufficient. Its precise male-to-female thread configuration ensures compatibility with standard plumbing fixtures, facilitating a secure and leak-proof assembly that maintains system integrity over time.

Advantages

This brass extension fitting offers exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for long-term plumbing installations. The high-quality material composition ensures that the fitting can withstand the pressures and temperature fluctuations typically encountered in residential and commercial water supply or heating circuits. Its standardized threading allows for straightforward installation, reducing the time and effort required for system adjustments or repairs while providing a stable connection that minimizes the risk of leaks.

Suitable for

• Extending pipe connections in residential water supply systems
• Adjusting the length of heating system pipework
• Professional plumbing installations and maintenance tasks
• Connecting fixtures that require additional clearance from the main pipe line

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use in high-pressure industrial steam systems or applications involving highly corrosive chemical fluids that may degrade brass material. It is also not suitable for connections requiring non-standard thread types or sizes other than the specified 1/2 inch dimensions.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection type: Male to Female (V/I)
• Thread size: 1/2 inch
• Length: 100 mm

How to use

To install the TDM Brass extension fitting, ensure that the 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 male end of the extension into the existing female fitting and tighten it using a suitable wrench, taking care not to overtighten. Once secured, attach the required component to the female end of the extension fitting, ensuring all connections are firmly tightened and checked for leaks before fully pressurizing the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1/2 inch thread size matches your existing piping system
• Ensure the 100 mm length provides the necessary clearance for your specific installation
• Confirm that the male-to-female configuration aligns with your connection requirements
• Check that the brass material is compatible with the fluid type and temperature of your system

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the threads for any damage before installation and use a professional-grade sealant to guarantee a leak-proof connection. Periodically check the fitting for signs of wear or moisture if the system is subject to frequent thermal expansion and contraction.
