Built from malleable iron with a black finish, this standard coupling provides a reliable threaded joint in lines carrying water, oil, air, or gas. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting where a simple inline connection is needed without directional change. Its malleable iron construction allows it to withstand moderate mechanical stress and vibration better than brittle cast iron, making it a practical choice for service and repair work as well as new installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis merchant coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where low-pressure service conditions apply. Typical uses include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, oil lines, and low-pressure gas piping. The 1-1\/2 inch size fits standard NPT threaded pipe of the same nominal diameter. It is sold individually and is a common stock fitting for service vans and supply houses alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable black iron construction for improved toughness compared to standard cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch nominal size with standard NPT threads for compatibility with common threaded pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight inline coupling design connects pipe section to pipe section without directional change\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for low-pressure water, oil, air, and gas piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually — quantity of one per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for 1-1\/2 inch NPT threaded black iron piping systems in low-pressure service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service medium. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit using pipe wrenches — do not overtighten malleable iron fittings. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable black iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Merchant coupling (straight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.677 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\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: 8700158259\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51342727184690,"sku":"8700158259","price":22.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547603.jpg?v=1782004816","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700158259-black-iron-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
