Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, and general-purpose black iron piping assemblies. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly use this fitting during rough-in, repair, or extension of threaded pipe runs. The 25-count package quantity supports multi-unit job sites or shop stock replenishment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to avoid stress on existing piping.
