Product detailed description

Brass threaded socket 1/2" FF is the most commonly used connector for steel heating pipework, for example under the boiler and in other heating installations.

A brass threaded socket connects two sections of pipe, or reduces/expands the connection between two different threads. Brass is a long-proven, standard material for threaded water and heating installations thanks to its corrosion resistance and reliable tightness when the joint is properly tightened.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the correct fitting size? The thread size (e.g. 1/2", 3/4", 1") must exactly match the thread size of the pipe or fitting you are connecting to - designations such as FF (female-female), MF (male-female) and similar abbreviations in the name indicate the type of thread on each side of the fitting.
What do the abbreviations FF and MF in the name mean? F (female, internal thread) and M (male, external thread) indicate the type of thread on that side of the fitting - for example "FF" means an internal thread on both sides, while "MF" means an external thread on one side and an internal thread on the other.
Do I need to use a sealing material during installation? Yes, a sealing material (e.g. PTFE tape or hemp fibre with sealing paste) is normally used on threaded joints to ensure a perfectly tight seal - the thread alone, without sealant, will not seal reliably.
Does the installation have to be carried out by a professional? A simple threaded connection can be handled by a competent DIYer with basic skills, but when working on an already functioning system (especially a gas or pressurised water/heating installation) we recommend calling in a plumber, who will also check the tightness of the joint after installation.
What material and pressure class does this fitting have? It is made of brass, suitable for standard water and heating installations - exact nominal pressure and temperature values (where specified for the particular product) can be found in the technical parameters above.
