Anderson Metals 756103-04 Pipe Coupling 1/4-18 Fnpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756103-04 is a female-threaded pipe coupling designed for joining sections of pipe in industrial and plumbing systems. It features a 1/4-18 FNPT (Female National Pipe Taper) connection on both ends, providing a pressure-rated, leak-resistant joint when properly installed. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 1000 psi and certified lead free, this coupling is suitable for use in potable water lines as well as fuel, grease, LP gas, and natural gas applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial piping systems.

This coupling is appropriate for use in a range of fluid and gas distribution applications including potable water supply, fuel delivery, grease systems, and LP or natural gas piping. Its FNPT thread pattern conforms to standard tapered pipe thread specifications, making it compatible with male NPT threaded pipe and fittings of the same nominal size. It is suited for light commercial and residential service environments where a compact, threaded union between two pipe runs is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), or the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) as required by the application. Shut off the water supply or gas source and relieve all system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage thread engagement.
