Midland Industries 45413LFCP 1/2 in Fpt Pipe Coupling Lead-free Bronze

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 45413LFCP is a 1/2-inch FPT x 1/2-inch FPT pipe coupling machined from lead-free bronze and finished with a chrome plating. It joins two female-threaded pipe ends in a straight run, maintaining a continuous flow path with no reduction in port size. The 1/2-14 thread form and 125 lb pressure class rating make it suitable for typical water supply, plumbing distribution, and low-pressure fluid service lines. Weighing 0.175 pounds and measuring 1.15 inches in height, length, and width, this compact fitting installs in tight spaces where full-port continuity is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a chrome-plated finish is specified for exposed installations, such as under-sink supply lines, lavatory rough-in work, or visible water distribution runs. The lead-free bronze construction satisfies potable water requirements under applicable plumbing codes. It is suited for systems operating within a 125 lb pressure class and is commonly found in fixture supply, water distribution manifolds, and repair applications requiring a matching chrome aesthetic.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local amendments. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading this coupling onto mating pipe ends. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before assembly. Do not over-torque, as bronze fittings can crack if excessive force is applied with pipe wrenches.
