Midland Industries 44414LF 3/4 Fpt Bronze Coupling 125 Psi

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 44414LF is a lead-free bronze threaded coupling designed for joining two 3/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connections in water supply, plumbing distribution, and related piping systems. Built to ANSI B16.15 dimensional standards and rated at 125 PSI pressure class, this fitting meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water applications. The 3/4-14 thread specification ensures consistent engagement with standard NPT-threaded pipe and components. Plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling where two threaded pipe ends must be joined inline without changing direction or size.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where lead-free bronze fittings are required by code, including potable water supply lines and distribution piping. Its compact profile, measuring 1.43 inches in length, makes it practical in tight spaces. The FPT x FPT configuration accepts male-threaded pipe from both sides, making it a straightforward inline connector for new installations and repair work alike.

Key Features

• Lead-free bronze construction meets potable water code requirements
• 3/4 in FPT x 3/4 in FPT configuration for inline pipe joining
• Rated at 125 PSI pressure class
• Conforms to ANSI B16.15 dimensional standards
• 3/4-14 NPT thread for reliable engagement with standard pipe
• Compact 1.43-inch length suits confined installation areas

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style lead-free bronze replacement coupling for 3/4-inch FPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications where ANSI B16.15 fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing any existing fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before hand-tightening, then wrench-tighten to a snug fit - do not overtighten bronze fittings. Inspect for leaks before returning the system to full operating pressure.
