Merit Brass XB111-32 Brass Pipe Coupling 2 in Fbspt Class 125

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB111-32 is a Class 125 brass pipe coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. At 2 inches in size, this coupling features female British Standard Pipe Taper (FBSPT) threads on both ends, allowing a secure, sealed joint when mating two threaded pipe sections. Brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance in water and low-pressure gas service applications. The Class 125 pressure rating suits a wide range of residential and commercial plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This coupling is suited for residential and commercial plumbing rough-in work, hydronic heating piping, and general industrial fluid handling where 2-inch threaded connections are required. The FBSPT x FBSPT end configuration accepts standard tapered male threaded pipe on both sides, making it appropriate for joining two pipe runs, repairing a section, or extending an existing threaded line. It is sold individually and is a standard stocking item for plumbing supply inventories and service truck stock.
