Asc Engineered Solutions 320200439 Half Coupling 1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 320200439 is a straight tapped half coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in black steel piping systems. This fitting provides a compact, single-ended coupling that accepts a male-threaded pipe on one end, making it suitable for branch connections, dead-end closures, or instrument tap points. At 0.08 pounds and sized for 1/2 inch pipe, it is a lightweight but durable fitting used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on gas, steam, or water distribution systems where black steel pipe is specified.

This half coupling is intended for use in commercial and industrial piping applications where black steel fittings are required by code or design. Typical install scenarios include natural gas distribution lines, low-pressure steam systems, and hydronic heating piping. The straight tapped configuration allows direct inline or branch tap connections without additional adapters. Plumbers and pipefitters commonly use this fitting when stubbing out service ports or connecting instrumentation to a main run.

Key Features

• Straight tapped half coupling configuration for single-ended threaded connections
• Black steel construction for use in gas, steam, and hydronic piping systems
• 1/2 inch pipe size for standard small-bore distribution lines
• Lightweight at 0.08 pounds for easy handling and installation
• Compact profile suited for tight spaces and branch tap applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch black steel threaded piping systems in residential and commercial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Ensure the piping system is fully depressurized and isolated before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Inspect threads on both the fitting and mating pipe for damage before assembly.
