TDM Brass 468E1406 Threaded Connection 1/4 inch x 6 mm

The TDM Brass 468E1406 threaded connection is a high-quality component engineered for secure and reliable integration within piping systems. Crafted from durable brass, this fitting offers excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring long-term performance in both plumbing and industrial environments. Its precise design facilitates a tight seal for fluid or gas transport, making it a dependable choice for professional installations and routine maintenance tasks.

Advantages

This brass threaded connection stands out due to its robust construction and high material quality, which prevents leaks and ensures structural integrity under pressure. The brass material provides natural resistance to oxidation, making it suitable for environments where moisture or chemical exposure might otherwise compromise standard fittings. Its compact design allows for easy installation in tight spaces, while the standardized threading ensures compatibility with a wide range of piping components.

Suitable for

• Residential plumbing system repairs
• Industrial fluid transport lines
• Gas distribution system connections
• Maintenance of heating and cooling circuits

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use in high-pressure steam systems or environments involving highly corrosive chemicals that react with brass. It should also be avoided in applications where the piping material is incompatible with brass, as this may lead to galvanic corrosion.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection size: 1/4 inch
• Diameter: 6 mm
• Application: Threaded piping connection

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 468E1406, ensure that the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads to guarantee a leak-proof connection. Carefully thread the fitting onto the pipe by hand to avoid cross-threading, then use a suitable wrench to tighten it to the required torque. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the threads or the fitting body.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size and diameter requirements of your existing piping system.
• Ensure the brass material is compatible with the fluid or gas being transported.
• Check if additional sealing materials are required for your specific installation.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of leakage or corrosion, especially in systems subject to thermal expansion or vibration. If the fitting is removed during maintenance, it is recommended to replace the thread sealant before reinstallation to maintain a secure seal.
