Description
Charman 150# Black Malleable Iron Extension Piece
Charman 150# Black Malleable Iron Extension Pieces are designed to extend an existing female-threaded pipe or fitting connection while maintaining the same nominal pipe size. The male NPT end threads into a compatible female connection, while the female NPT end provides a new threaded outlet for pipe, nipples, valves, or other compatible fittings.
Select the required nominal pipe size from the product options above. Available GetPipe.com variations range from 1/2" through 2". The selected variation determines the Charman item number, selling price, cost, and other size-specific product information.

How an Extension Piece Works
A threaded extension piece provides a compact way to move an existing female-threaded connection outward while maintaining the same nominal pipe size. The male NPT end threads into the existing female opening, and the female NPT end becomes the new connection point.
This configuration can be useful when additional threaded reach or clearance is needed without adding a separate pipe nipple and coupling assembly.
Black Malleable Iron Construction
The Charman 150# Black Malleable Iron Extension Piece is part of Charman's Class 150 black malleable iron fitting family. Its threaded construction is intended for use with compatible threaded piping components where black malleable iron fittings are specified.
Confirm that the material, pressure class, thread configuration, piping media, temperature, and applicable installation requirements are suitable for the intended system before installation.
Male NPT x Female NPT Configuration
Unlike a standard coupling with female threads on both ends, an extension piece combines a male NPT connection on one end with a female NPT connection on the other. This allows the fitting to thread directly into an existing female opening and provide another female threaded connection farther outward.
The inlet and outlet maintain the same nominal pipe size. Select the required size from the product options above and confirm both mating components before ordering.
