Product Information
Full details
The Plumbright 30mm Extension Piece (C01430) is an essential component for DIYers and professional plumbers looking to bridge the gap between radiator valves and pipework. It is ideal for adjusting connections on radiators, bib taps, and discharge valves, offering a high-quality, corrosion-resistant finish that blends seamlessly with standard plumbing fixtures. While it provides excellent versatility for spacing adjustments, users should verify that the extension length is sufficient for their specific installation, as it is a fixed-size component designed for precise 30mm spacing needs.

FAQs
Is this extension piece suitable for drinking water pipes?
This product is primarily engineered for central heating systems and discharge valves; please check your local plumbing codes if using for potable water lines.
Can I connect two extension pieces together?
While it is technically possible, it is not recommended as it increases the risk of leaks and reduces the structural stability of the valve connection.
Does it come with washers or seals?
The product is designed to work with standard plumbing tapings and sealants; ensure you have high-quality PTFE tape or appropriate jointing compound on hand.
What is the maximum pressure it can handle?
The extension piece is rated for performance up to 10 bar.
Is it compatible with 15mm or 22mm pipes?
The extension piece fits the thread connection rather than the pipe diameter; confirm your valve thread size matches the extension specifications.
Troubleshooting
Connection is leaking after installation
Ensure that enough PTFE tape or thread sealant was applied to the threads and that the unit is fully tightened.
Difficulty threading the extension piece
Check the threads on the existing valve to ensure they are not damaged or cross-threaded, and clean any old sealant debris from the connection point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the water system is drained and pressure is released before attempting any connection. Apply a suitable sealant or PTFE tape to the threads to ensure a watertight fit. Tighten the extension piece using appropriate plumbing tools, being careful not to over-tighten, which could damage the threads. For care and maintenance, simply wipe the polished chrome exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the protective chrome coating over time. Always ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before threading the extension into place.
