Prevost Brass Male-Female Extender

Description

Prevost Brass Male-Female Extender

Precision Reach and Clearance for Compact Pneumatic Layouts

The Prevost Brass Male-Female Extender (also known as a pipe extension or gauge adapter) is a high-performance fitting designed to provide extra length between a port and a component. Featuring a male thread on one end and a matching female thread on the other, this fitting is the perfect solution for “lifting” a component away from a surface to provide clearance for wrenches, hoses, or surrounding machinery.

Machined from premium industrial-grade brass, these extenders are engineered for a seamless fit that maintains the full pressure integrity of your air or fluid system.

Key Features

• Critical Clearance Solution: Ideal for situations where a port is recessed or where a large gauge or regulator cannot be rotated into place because it hits an obstruction. The extender provides the necessary “offset” to allow for easy installation.
• Corrosion-Resistant Industrial Brass: Naturally resistant to rust and oxidation, making it suitable for use in compressed air, water, oil, and inert gas systems.
• Integrated Hexagonal Body: The entire length of the extender (or a dedicated section) features flat wrench surfaces. This allows for secure tightening at high torque levels, ensuring a permanent, leak-proof seal.
• Uniform Internal Bore: Designed with a smooth internal diameter to ensure that there is no restriction in airflow or fluid volume, maintaining the efficiency of your pneumatic tools and sensors.
• High-Pressure Durability: Unlike consumer-grade brass fittings, Prevost extenders feature a thick-walled design that resists cracking and thread stripping, even when subjected to high-vibration industrial environments.

Technical Specifications

Common Applications

• Gauge Mounting: Raising a pressure gauge above a manifold block or valve body so it can be easily read and serviced.
• Quick-Connect Access: Extending an air inlet port on a tool or machine to make it easier to reach with a quick-disconnect coupler.
• Obstruction Bypass: Providing the necessary distance to install a filter or lubricator in a tight cabinet where the unit would otherwise touch the wall or frame.
• Drain Port Extension: Lengthening a moisture drain port on the bottom of an air tank to provide better access for a drain valve.

Selection Guide

Prevost Male-Female Extenders are available in various lengths to suit your specific space requirements.³ Whether you need a short 10 mm lift or a longer 50 mm extension, these fittings ensure that your thread size remains consistent (e.g., 1/4 inch Male to 1/4 inch Female) throughout the transition.
