Brass Extension VIEGA 1/2" (12.7mm) x 25 mm - model 100162

VIEGA brass extension 1/2" (12.7 mm) x 25 mm, model 100162, is a short threaded pipe extension designed for plumbing installations. Made from corrosion-resistant brass, this extension increases the connection length between fittings, valves or fixtures while maintaining a sealed, durable joint. The compact 25 mm length provides a precise adjustment of pipe alignment and spacing in domestic and commercial water systems.

Advantages

The brass construction provides reliable resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring long service life in potable water and heating installations. The 1/2" (12.7 mm) threaded connection ensures compatibility with standard fittings and valves, while the short 25 mm length allows for fine-tuning connection spacing without requiring additional cutting or adapters. Its solid-machined design promotes leak-free joints when installed with appropriate sealing materials.

Suitable for

• Extending threaded connections on tap fittings and valves
• Compensating for small misalignments in copper or steel piping
• Installation in compact spaces where a short extension is required
• Domestic and light commercial water supply and heating systems

Key specifications

• Material: brass (corrosion-resistant)
• Connection size: 1/2" (12.7 mm) threaded
• Length: 25 mm
• Type: male threaded pipe extension
• Typical applications: potable water, heating circuits, valve and fitting connections

How to use

Ensure the mating threads and sealing surfaces are clean and free of debris before installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for potable water systems to the male threads. Screw the extension into the female fitting by hand until seated, then tighten with a suitable wrench to the torque recommended for brass fittings, avoiding over-tightening. After assembly, pressurize the system and inspect the joint for leaks. If necessary, slightly adjust the tightness to achieve a leak-free connection.

Usage recommendations

Use thread sealant materials compatible with drinking water systems and follow local plumbing codes. Avoid excessive torque to prevent thread deformation; when connecting to dissimilar metals, consider suitable measures to reduce galvanic corrosion.
