Midland Industries 55304 Pvc Compression Coupling 3/4 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 55304 is a Schedule 40 PVC compression coupling designed to join two sections of 3/4-inch pipe using compression-style connections on both ends. This fitting requires no solvent cement or threading, making it a practical choice for repair situations where cutting out a damaged section of pipe and restoring the line quickly is the priority. The PVC construction resists corrosion and common chemicals encountered in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. At 0.21 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle in tight spaces. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipe fitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This coupling is suited for use in cold and cool water distribution lines, irrigation systems, and drain or vent applications where Schedule 40 PVC compression fittings are appropriate. Its symmetrical 3/4-inch compression connections on both ends make it a straightforward inline repair or extension fitting. The compression design allows installation without heat, flame, or adhesive, which can be an advantage in occupied spaces or when working near existing finished surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before beginning any fitting work. Ensure pipe ends are cleanly cut, deburred, and free of debris before seating the compression fitting. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as PVC fittings can crack under excessive mechanical force.
