Product Information
Full details
The Ravani Pipe Thread Extension is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who need to bridge gaps in plumbing setups where standard fittings fall short. Its primary benefit is the 1-inch BSP thread, which allows for a secure, leak-proof height adjustment of existing hardware. A notable caveat to keep in mind is that this component is specifically engineered for 1-inch plumbing connections and will not fit smaller or larger standard piping without additional adapters.

Extended Product Information
FAQs

No, this product is designed for plumbing and water distribution systems. Do not use it for gas applications.
What is the total length of the extension?
This model provides an extension length of 10mm.
Does it come with a gasket?
No, the product relies on the precision of the tapered or parallel thread and appropriate thread sealant for a water-tight seal.
Can I use this in outdoor irrigation systems?
Yes, provided the system pressure does not exceed the 1.0 MPa (10 bar) rating.
Is it made of brass?
The product is designed for high-pressure plumbing and is constructed from durable materials rated for water distribution and thermal resistance up to +100C.
Troubleshooting
Joint is leaking after installation
Unscrew the fitting, inspect the threads for damage, reapply high-quality PTFE tape, and ensure the joint is tightened securely.
Fitting will not thread into existing pipe
Verify that your existing pipe is truly 1-inch BSP; if the threads are damaged or a different size (such as NPT), the fitting will not seat properly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High thermal tolerance for hot water systems
- Pressure rating matches common residential plumbing standards
- Consistent internal and external threading for reliable sealing
- Sturdy construction ensures long-term durability
Cons
- Limited to 1-inch BSP specific connections
- Requires proper sealing tape to guarantee leak-free joints
- Increases total length of fitting assembly, requiring clearance space
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure that the water supply to the pipe line is completely shut off. Clean both the male and female threads of any debris or old sealant. Apply a generous amount of PTFE tape to the male threads of the extension, wrapping in the direction of the thread. Screw the extension into the existing fitting using a pipe wrench, taking care not to overtighten and strip the thread.
This unit is compatible with standard 1-inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) fittings. For long-term care, periodically check the joints for signs of moisture or weeping. Do not expose this fitting to corrosive chemicals that may degrade the material over time.
