The taper thread design creates a pressure-assisted seal as the fitting is tightened, reducing reliance on thread sealant alone. Sized at 1\/2 inch, this coupling weighs 0.17 pounds and is constructed from black steel, making it suitable for gas lines and industrial piping applications where galvanized or brass fittings are not specified. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly install this type of fitting during new construction and service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping systems, most commonly on natural gas, propane, or black iron water supply lines. The 1\/2 inch taper tapped configuration fits standard NPT threaded pipe schedules and is a common size across residential gas appliance connections, boiler piping, and mechanical room distribution headers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper tapped thread design provides a tightening, pressure-assisted seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction suitable for gas and industrial pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch size fits standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.17 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1\/2 inch NPT threaded black steel piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off the gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort the taper thread seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper Tapped\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 320200132\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233244676402,"sku":"0320200132","price":32.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307627336.jpg?v=1780095232","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-320200132-taper-tapped-black-steel-coupling-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
