Brass Male Threaded Fitting Tvardy GW 1/2" (male) for plumbing and hydraulic connections

Brass Male Threaded Fitting Tvardy GW 1/2" (male) is a 1/2-inch male connector designed for plumbing and hydraulic connections. Manufactured from brass, the fitting provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for joining pipes, hoses or adapters with compatible female threads. It is intended for domestic and light industrial applications where a 1/2" male GW thread is required and can be used in potable water, heating and many low-pressure hydraulic systems when the installation specifications permit.

Advantages

The brass construction offers a balance of durability and resistance to corrosion while maintaining good machinability for accurate thread engagement. The standardized 1/2" male thread ensures compatibility with common fittings and adapters, simplifying installation and replacement. Its compact design provides a secure mechanical connection with minimal flow restriction and requires only basic tools for assembly.

Suitable for

• Domestic plumbing: sinks, faucets, and water lines
• Heating systems and radiators in residential buildings
• Low-pressure hydraulic circuits and fluid lines
• Connecting hoses and adapters with matching female 1/2" threads

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Thread type: male 1/2" GW (compatible with standard 1/2" female connectors)
• Typical applications: plumbing and light hydraulic connections
• Connection orientation: male threaded end
• Construction: single-piece machined fitting

How to use

Ensure the mating female thread is clean and free of debris or damaged threads before installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the intended fluid and temperature to the male threads, if required by the application. Hand-start the connection to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with a suitable wrench until the joint is snug and leak-free according to system pressure requirements. After installation, pressurize the system and check for leaks; if necessary, tighten slightly but avoid over-torquing which can deform threads or cause leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use thread sealants compatible with potable water if the fitting is used in drinking water systems. Do not expose the fitting to fluids or temperatures outside the material limits of brass; consult system specifications for maximum pressure and temperature ratings. For threaded connections intended for high-pressure hydraulic systems, verify compatibility and consider fittings certified for such use.
