Verlängerungsstücke
Verlängerungsstücke, often translated as extension pieces or adapters, are components used to increase the reach or adapt the connection of various items. They are commonly found in plumbing, electrical systems, and mechanical applications. In plumbing, they might be used to extend the length of a pipe or to connect pipes of different diameters or thread types. For electrical installations, extension pieces can provide additional cable length or adapt one type of connector to another, facilitating the connection of devices that might otherwise be incompatible or too far from a power source. In mechanical engineering, extension pieces can be used with tools like sockets or drills to reach confined spaces or to achieve greater leverage. The design and material of a Verlängerungsstück vary depending on its intended use, with common materials including metal, plastic, and rubber. Safety and proper fit are crucial considerations when selecting and using these components to ensure functionality and prevent leaks, short circuits, or mechanical failure.
