Merit Brass SWM611H-08 Half Coupling 1/2 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS SWM611H-08 is a 1/2 inch pipe half coupling manufactured from 316 stainless steel. It is designed for socket weld end connections and features threaded engagement, with a pressure rating of 150 psi. Half couplings are used to branch off a run of pipe or cap a line with a female socket weld connection. The 316 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments, making it appropriate for plumbing, process piping, and industrial fluid systems. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on socket weld assemblies.

This half coupling is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a 1/2 inch socket weld fitting is required. It is commonly installed in process lines, HVAC condensate or water lines, and general-purpose piping where 316 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. The threaded connection allows integration with compatible threaded pipe ends or fittings within the same run.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance
• 1/2 inch fitting size for standard half-inch pipe connections
• Socket weld x socket weld end connection configuration
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure piping systems
• Threaded engagement for secure mechanical connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch socket weld piping systems using 316 stainless steel components rated to 150 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing and piping codes, including IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any pipe fitting. Socket weld fittings require proper fit-up and welding procedures; confirm weld quality before returning the system to service. Do not exceed the rated pressure of 150 psi in service.
