Tok-met Brass Extension 1" x 15mm

The Tok-met brass extension 1" x 15mm is a professional-grade plumbing fitting engineered to provide a reliable solution for extending pipe connections in various hydraulic systems. Crafted from high-quality brass, this component is designed to withstand the rigors of daily operation in water supply and heating installations. Its precise threading ensures a tight, secure fit, minimizing the risk of leaks and maintaining system integrity over extended periods of use.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this brass extension lies in its exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, which is essential for maintaining long-term performance in plumbing environments. The robust material composition prevents premature wear and degradation, ensuring that the connection remains stable even under fluctuating pressure or temperature conditions. Furthermore, its standardized dimensions allow for seamless integration into existing pipework, simplifying the installation process for both professional plumbers and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

Suitable for

• Extending pipe connections in residential water supply systems
• Connecting components in central heating installations
• Adapting thread lengths in plumbing manifolds
• General maintenance and repair of hydraulic pipework

When it may not be suitable

This extension is not intended for use in high-pressure industrial steam systems or environments where the brass material may be incompatible with specific aggressive chemicals. It should also be avoided in applications requiring materials with higher structural load-bearing capacities than standard brass fittings.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality brass
• Thread size: 1 inch
• Extension length: 15 mm
• Application: Water supply and heating systems

How to use

To install the Tok-met brass extension, 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. Carefully screw the extension into the corresponding female fitting and tighten it using a suitable wrench, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the threads. 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-inch thread size matches your existing pipe diameter
• Ensure the 15mm length is sufficient for your specific spacing requirements
• Check compatibility with the existing pipe material to prevent galvanic corrosion
• Confirm that the operating pressure and temperature of your system are within the limits for brass fittings

Usage recommendations

Always use a properly sized wrench to avoid deforming the hexagonal profile of the fitting and ensure that the threads are correctly aligned before tightening to prevent cross-threading.
