Anvil International Inc 8700158853 Merchant Coupling

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700158853 is a 1-1/2 inch galvanized merchant coupling designed for joining threaded steel pipe in a wide range of piping system applications. Merchant couplings are threaded end to end, allowing for a full-length engagement on both pipe ends without a center stop. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately wet environments. This fitting is a standard item in commercial and industrial plumbing and mechanical piping work, typically installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This merchant coupling is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where a standard threaded steel coupling is required. The end-to-end threading makes it useful in repair situations where the pipe cannot be backed out to thread onto a standard coupling with a center stop. Typical applications include water supply, general service piping, and mechanical room distribution headers.

Key Features

• End-to-end internal threading allows installation without a center stop
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in service environments

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off water supply and depressurize the piping system before beginning work.
