Shank extensions are used to add thread length or reach where a standard fitting falls short of the connection point. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet or humid service environments. This type of fitting is a common component in plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping assemblies where threaded connections require an extended engagement point. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this hardware as part of rough-in or service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and piping systems where NPT threaded connections are required. It is commonly used to extend valve stems, faucet shanks, or supply risers to reach panels, walls, or fixture mounting points. The 1\/2 inch thread size is among the most common in domestic water supply and hydronic systems, making this extension a versatile component in repair and new installation work alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion in wet and humid service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch FIP inlet threads to standard NPT female connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch MIP outlet threads to standard NPT male connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtends thread engagement or connection reach in tight or recessed installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with common threaded pipe fittings used in plumbing and HVAC piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1\/2 inch NPT threaded plumbing and piping assemblies in residential and commercial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning any threaded connection work. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as excessive torque can crack or distort the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch FIP (Female Iron Pipe, NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch MIP (Male Iron Pipe, NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DALLAS SPECIALTY MFG CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 89477\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DALLAS SPECIALTY \u0026 MFG CO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233636090162,"sku":"89477","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307612237.jpg?v=1780105315","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dallas-specialty-mfg-co-89477-brass-shank-extension","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
