Jcm Industries 202-023811 Long Barrel Coupling 2x12 in Ips

Product Description

The JCM INDUSTRIES 202-023811 is a long barrel coupling designed for use in iron pipe size (IPS) piping systems. This metal electrofusion-limited coupling provides a secure, pressure-rated mechanical joint between pipe sections, making it a reliable solution for repair, extension, or retrofit work on water, wastewater, and industrial piping networks. At 2 inches in diameter and 12 inches in barrel length, it offers extended contact area for increased pull-out resistance and joint integrity. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on pressurized distribution systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

This coupling is suited for residential, commercial, and municipal piping applications where a long-barrel design is required for added joint strength or when connecting pipe sections with slight misalignment or surface irregularities. The 12-inch barrel length provides a greater sealing surface than standard-length couplings, which is particularly useful on aged or corroded pipe where pipe ends may not be in ideal condition. It is intended for use on 2-inch IPS pipe.

Key Features

• 2-inch IPS nominal pipe size for compatibility with standard iron pipe size piping
• 12-inch long barrel design for extended gripping and sealing surface
• Metal construction for durability in pressurized piping environments
• Electrofusion-limited design provides a controlled, reliable mechanical joint
• Order increment of 1, allowing single-unit procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and repair coupling for 2-inch IPS piping systems in water distribution, wastewater, and industrial pipeline applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and AWWA guidelines. De-pressurize and isolate the pipe section before beginning any coupling installation. Pipe ends should be cleaned and deburred to the manufacturer's pipe preparation specifications to ensure proper seating and sealing. Follow all applicable torque and assembly sequences outlined in the manufacturer's installation instructions provided with the fitting.
