Anderson Metals 756103-02 Pipe Coupling 1/8-27 Fnpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756103-02 is a lead-free pipe coupling designed for joining threaded pipe runs in plumbing, gas, and fluid-handling systems. It features a 1/8-27 female thread on both ends with FNPT connection type, rated for up to 1,000 psi maximum working pressure. The compact form factor makes it well suited for tight-space installations where a straight, inline connection is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though qualified HVAC and gas technicians also encounter this fitting in fuel and gas line work. The lead-free construction supports compliance with potable water regulations.

This coupling is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial piping applications. It is compatible with potable water systems, grease lines, fuel lines, and LP and natural gas distribution. The 1/8-27 thread size is common in instrument ports, pressure tap connections, and small-bore gas supply lines. It fits standard NPT pipe and fittings of the same thread designation, making it a practical stock item for service vans and shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench on the fitting flats and inspect for leaks after restoring pressure.
