Eaton 2096-8S Pipe Coupling 1/2 Inch Fnpt 5000 Psi

Product Description

The EATON 2096-8S is a steel industrial pipe coupling designed for high-pressure fluid and gas piping systems. It features a 1/2 inch female NPT (FNPT) thread on both ends, providing a secure, leak-resistant connection between two lengths of pipe or between a pipe and a fitting. Rated to 5,000 psi, this coupling is built for demanding service environments where pressure integrity is non-negotiable. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of hardware.

This coupling is suited for use in industrial piping systems, hydraulic lines, and high-pressure fluid transfer applications where FNPT threaded connections are specified. Its steel construction makes it appropriate for use in commercial and industrial settings. The 1/2 inch thread size is one of the most common nominal pipe sizes across a wide range of plumbing and process piping assemblies.

Key Features

• 5,000 psi pressure rating for high-pressure service applications
• 1/2 inch female NPT (FNPT) thread on both ends for standard pipe connections
• Steel construction provides strength and durability in demanding environments
• Compact form factor weighing 0.23 pounds for easy handling during installation
• UNSPSC Code 40175305 for streamlined procurement and cataloging

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for industrial and commercial piping systems that use 1/2 inch FNPT threaded connections rated at or below 5,000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque steel NPT fittings, as this can crack or distort the threads and compromise the seal.
