Machined from black steel, this 1\/4-inch coupling provides a durable, pressure-rated threaded connection suitable for both residential and light commercial piping applications. Its straight tapped configuration accepts standard NPT-threaded pipe on both ends, making it a reliable mechanical fitting for plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on low-pressure gas lines, compressed air systems, or water distribution runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a 1\/4-inch threaded straight connection is required. Typical installations include gas distribution manifolds, compressed air supply lines, and general plumbing rough-in work. The black steel construction makes it appropriate for dry or gas service applications rather than potable water lines where galvanized or brass fittings are more commonly specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight tapped configuration accepts standard NPT threads on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction provides strength and durability in gas and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch fitting size suits smaller-diameter branch lines and instrument connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.06 pounds per unit for easy handling and bulk installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 1\/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems in gas, air, and general industrial fluid 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 local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly. Black steel couplings are not recommended for potable water or outdoor exposed applications without additional corrosion protection.\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\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Tapped\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 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: 320200017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233408188722,"sku":"0320200017","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307630699.jpg?v=1780099315","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-320200017-black-steel-coupling-1-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
