Merchant couplings are threaded end to end, allowing standard NPT pipe to be connected without a center stop, giving installers the ability to run pipe through the fitting for applications requiring that flexibility. This 1\/2 inch coupling is galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance suited to water supply, compressed air, and general industrial piping. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is intended for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where 1\/2 inch threaded steel pipe connections are required. It is appropriate for water supply lines, gas distribution systems where local code permits threaded steel, and compressed air runs. The end-to-end thread pattern distinguishes merchant couplings from standard couplings and makes them suitable for applications where threading pipe through the fitting is necessary. Sold in a package quantity of 100, making it practical for stocking a service van or job site supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnd-to-end threaded design with no center stop for through-pipe installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch pipe size for standard residential and light commercial applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 100 per unit, suitable for bulk job site use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard merchant coupling for 1\/2 inch NPT threaded steel pipe systems in plumbing and mechanical piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can crack or distort the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded End to End (No Center Stop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.84 pounds (per package)\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: B K Mueller Industries\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 511-223HC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHLAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562424041778,"sku":"511-223HC","price":118.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/388390b139c04a1516a2cc45ed4b0366.jpg?v=1786476786","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/b-k-mueller-511-223hc-galv-merchant-coupling-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
