Machined from malleable iron with a standard black finish, this coupling provides a reliable threaded connection for water, oil, air, and gas service lines. At 1.08 pounds, it is a compact, full-weight fitting suited for both new construction and repair work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a straight pipe-to-pipe connection is needed in commercial or light industrial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerchant couplings like the 8700158309 are commonly used in low-pressure distribution and utility piping. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, petroleum transfer piping, and natural gas service runs where pressures remain within the rated range for malleable iron threaded fittings. This coupling is sold individually and is appropriate for above-grade and exposed piping installations handled by qualified plumbing and mechanical contractors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable black iron construction for durability in low-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch nominal pipe size for straight pipe-to-pipe connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded ends compatible with standard NPT pipe fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for water, oil, compressed air, and gas line applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor at 1.08 pounds for easy handling and installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock merchant coupling for 2-inch malleable iron threaded piping systems in low-pressure water, oil, air, and gas service applications.\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 IPC and IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate to the service medium before making up the connection. Do not over-tighten threaded connections in malleable iron fittings, as excessive force can crack the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Black Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded (NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\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: 8700158309\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347216793906,"sku":"8700158309","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547606.jpg?v=1782099372","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-8700158309-black-iron-merchant-coupling-2-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
