Manufactured from malleable iron conforming to ANSI\/ASTM A-197, this coupling accepts standard NPT threads per ANSI B1.20.1 and meets dimensional standards ANSI\/ASME B16.3, B16.14, and B16.39. Each fitting is individually flag tagged and 100% inspected and quality tested before leaving the factory. At 0.474 pounds, it is a solid, durable component suited for residential and light commercial installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling in new construction and retrofit applications where a straight inline pipe connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is used in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where 1-inch black iron pipe is specified. Black iron fittings of this type are common in natural gas and propane supply lines, fire suppression rough-in, and industrial air lines. The fitting is sold individually and is appropriate for any application that calls for a standard malleable iron threaded coupling at the 1-inch pipe size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction per ANSI\/ASTM A-197 for strength and ductility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded to ANSI B1.20.1 NPT standard for reliable, leak-resistant connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions conform to ANSI\/ASME B16.3, B16.14, and B16.39\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100% inspected and quality tested at the factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndividually flag tagged for easy identification and inventory control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch pipe size suits a wide range of residential and commercial piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 1-inch NPT black iron pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as applicable. Shut off gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque fittings, as malleable iron can crack if excessive force is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Black Iron, ANSI\/ASTM A-197\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B1.20.1 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensional Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\/ASME B16.3, B16.14, B16.39\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.474 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\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: BK\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 521-205BG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345988387122,"sku":"521-205BG","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549900.jpg?v=1782068261","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-521-205bg-malleable-black-iron-coupling-1-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
