Midland Industries 28763P 1/2 in Fpt Polypropylene Coupling

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 28763P is a straight polypropylene coupling designed to join two 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connections in low-pressure piping systems. Built from polypropylene, this fitting resists corrosion and chemical attack, making it a reliable choice in applications where metal fittings are unsuitable. It is rated to 125 psi and uses a standard 1/2-14 thread form. At 0.03 pounds, the fitting is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Plumbers and pipe fitters install this type of coupling to connect two threaded pipe runs or to complete a repair on an existing FPT line.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, chemical distribution lines, and other fluid-handling systems where polypropylene's corrosion resistance is required. Its compact dimensions - 1.55 inches in length, 1.25 inches in width, and 1.2 inches in height - allow installation in tight spaces. The straight FPT-to-FPT configuration makes it a straightforward inline connector for 1/2-inch threaded pipe systems.

Key Features

• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion and a broad range of chemicals
• Rated to 125 psi for low-pressure fluid systems
• Standard 1/2-14 thread on both ends ensures compatibility with common threaded pipe
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds - easy to handle and store
• Compact profile fits in confined pipe chases and wall cavities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch FPT threaded polypropylene or compatible plastic piping systems rated to 125 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipe fitter. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to both male pipe threads before making up the connection - do not overtighten, as polypropylene threads can crack under excessive torque. Consult local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for approved materials and pressure ratings in your jurisdiction.
