Extension - long, 100 x 1"

Product detailed description

This extension is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings during installation or repair of heating and plumbing systems. Installers often require additional length between fittings or valves to accommodate alignment, insulation or access. This product provides a durable and reliable solution for such applications. The PN10 rating allows it to function effectively in standard domestic and light industrial environments.

The 100 mm length is suitable for extending connections in tight spaces or compensating for misalignment. It is particularly useful in systems where flexibility in layout is required. The 1 inch thread size makes it compatible with standard pipe fittings and valves. The operating temperature limit of +120°C is suitable for most central heating and hot water circuits.

Technical parameters

Material	Brass CW617N ATEST for potable water
Operating temperature	+120 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Weight	0.294 kg
Code	1540G06100
Brand	IVAR

These parameters define the conditions under which the extension can be safely used. The PN10 pressure rating indicates suitability for low-pressure systems. The maximum operating temperature of +120°C means it is not suitable for steam or high-temperature industrial systems. The CW617N brass is selected for its corrosion resistance and compliance with potable water regulations.Installation and connection To install the extension, ensure that both ends are clean and free from burrs. Apply a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before screwing it into the female threads of the adjacent components. Check that the full thread engagement is achieved and that the connection is tightened to the recommended torque for the fitting type. A common mistake is insufficient tightening, which can lead to leaks. Always verify the alignment and check for any signs of stress on the pipe system after installation.

Compatibility and accessories

This extension is compatible with standard 1 inch threaded fittings, valves, and pipe components. When using in potable water systems, ensure that all connected components also meet relevant standards. Additional items such as sealing compounds, thread sealants, or pipe clamps may be required depending on the specific installation requirements. No related products are available for this model.

Technical background for designers

This extension functions as a simple linear connector in fluid systems. The CW617N brass offers good mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion in water environments. It is suitable for both hot and cold water applications. The PN10 rating ensures that it can handle typical domestic pressures without deformation. Long-term performance depends on maintaining clean water conditions and avoiding exposure to aggressive chemicals or excessive mechanical stress.

Service and operation

No regular maintenance is required for this component unless it is part of a system with known issues such as sediment build-up or chemical corrosion. During routine inspections, check for signs of leakage, corrosion, or mechanical damage. If any defects are found, replace the component immediately to avoid system failure.
