Asc Engineered Solutions 8700158903 Galvanized Coupling 2 in Fpt

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700158903 is a 2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) standard merchant galvanized steel coupling designed to join two straight sections of pipe in a single run. Constructed from galvanized steel tubing, this coupling resists corrosion in low-pressure service environments. It is a direct, no-frills mechanical fitting suited for use in water, oil, compressed air, and gas piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work where a straight pipe-to-pipe connection is required without a change in direction or diameter.

This coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where low-pressure service is the norm. Common installations include domestic water distribution, fuel oil supply lines, compressed air distribution headers, and gas piping rough-ins. The FPT threading on both ends accepts standard male-threaded pipe, making it compatible with threaded pipe assemblies that follow NPT standards. It is well suited for use in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and exposed piping runs where galvanized fittings are the specified material.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for low-pressure service applications
• 2-inch FPT threads on both ends for straight pipe-to-pipe connections
• Standard merchant coupling profile with no center stop, allowing full pipe engagement from either end
• Suitable for water, oil, air, and gas piping systems
• Sold individually (each) for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard mechanical fitting for 2-inch threaded galvanized steel pipe assemblies in low-pressure piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the fluid or gas being conveyed. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before disassembling or threading any fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
