Constructed from galvanized steel, it provides corrosion resistance suited for a range of common service lines. Plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting to join two threaded pipe sections in a straight run without altering flow direction. Its standard merchant pattern and FPT threading on both ends make it a go-to component for quick, reliable connections in routine piping work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is commonly installed in residential and light commercial applications where low-pressure service is required. Typical use cases include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, oil service piping, and gas distribution lines running at low operating pressures. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for environments where bare steel would be prone to surface corrosion. It is sold individually and suits both new installation and repair work on existing threaded pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch FPT threads on both ends for straight pipe-to-pipe connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for common service fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard merchant coupling pattern for broad compatibility with threaded pipe fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for water, oil, air, and low-pressure gas line applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.172 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1\/2 inch NPT threaded pipe in low-pressure piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Always shut off and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can crack fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT (Female Pipe Thread, both ends)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.172 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 8700158655\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343543140658,"sku":"8700158655","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547610.jpg?v=1782022550","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700158655-galvanized-coupling-1-2-in-fpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
