• Connecting components in heating circuits
• Adapting threaded pipe sizes in hydraulic installations
• Professional plumbing repairs and maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This extender is not intended for use in high-pressure industrial steam systems or environments where the chemical composition of the fluid could cause dezincification of the brass material. It should also not be used in applications requiring specialized materials like stainless steel or plastic for specific chemical compatibility.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality brass
• Connection type: Male to Female threaded
• Size: 1/2 inch by 20 mm
• Application: Water supply and heating systems

How to use

To install the TDM Brass extender, ensure 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 leak-proof connection. Screw the extender onto the existing female fitting and then attach the corresponding male pipe or component to the female end of the extender. Tighten the connection using a suitable wrench, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size and type of your existing pipes to ensure compatibility
• Check the pressure and temperature ratings of your system against the fitting specifications
• Ensure you have the necessary tools for installation
• Confirm that the material is compatible with the fluid being transported

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or leaks after initial installation and during routine maintenance checks to ensure continued performance.
