Anderson Metals 756103-06 Pipe Coupling 3/8-18 Fnpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756103-06 is a lead-free pipe coupling designed for joining threaded pipe runs in industrial and commercial fluid systems. It features a 3/8-18 female thread on both ends with FNPT (female national pipe taper) connections, providing a pressure-rated seal rated to 1,000 psi. The compact form factor makes it well-suited for tight installations where a straight, in-line connection is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in systems conveying potable water, fuels, LP gas, natural gas, or grease, where a leak-free threaded joint is critical.

This coupling is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and fluid transfer applications. Its lead-free construction meets requirements for potable water service, and its broad media compatibility makes it a versatile stock item for service trucks and shop inventory. Typical installations include joining two male-threaded pipe ends in water supply lines, gas branch lines, and lubrication or fuel systems.

Key Features

• 1,000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding fluid and gas service
• 3/8-18 FNPT connections on both ends for standard tapered pipe thread engagement
• Lead-free construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• Compatible with potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas service
• Compact, in-line design suitable for space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas piping systems requiring a 3/8-18 FNPT straight pipe coupling connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and gas codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where applicable. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack the fitting or distort the thread seal.
