Sized at 1-1\/4 inches with female pipe thread (FPT) ends, this half coupling connects a pipe or fitting to a flat or drilled surface and carries a 1000 PSI pressure rating. The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and handles a wide range of media, making it a reliable choice for water, steam, and chemical service applications where carbon steel is not suitable. At 0.74 pounds, it is a compact, durable component suited for both new installation and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis half coupling is used in residential and commercial plumbing, process piping, and mechanical systems where a threaded pipe connection to a vessel, tank, or header is required. The FPT thread pattern is compatible with standard NPT male-threaded pipe and fittings. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in applications requiring corrosion-resistant fittings, such as potable water systems, hydronic heating, and light industrial fluid handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel barstock construction for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1000 PSI pressure rating suitable for high-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection, standard NPT pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHalf coupling profile for welding or surface-mount threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact at 0.74 pounds for ease of handling and installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1\/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems using standard barstock stainless steel half couplings.\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 applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten FPT connections, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive torque is applied without proper lubrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel 304\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Pipe Thread (FPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Half Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1000 PSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.74 pounds\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: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 411bh-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233974681906,"sku":"411BH-20","price":24.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307629225.jpg?v=1780113688","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-411bh-20-half-coupling-1-1-4-in-304-ss-fpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
