Midland Industries 62411B1 Barstock Coupling 1/4 in Fpt 304 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62411B1 is a barstock coupling designed for joining two 1/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) lines in fluid and gas distribution systems. Machined from 304 stainless steel barstock, this fitting delivers a 1000 lb pressure class rating, making it well-suited for demanding industrial and commercial plumbing applications. The 1/4-18 thread specification conforms to standard NPT dimensioning for reliable, leak-resistant engagement. At 0.080 pounds, the fitting is compact and lightweight without sacrificing durability. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of coupling in process piping, utility lines, and equipment connections.

This coupling is rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam, covering a broad range of media found in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial installations. Its 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemically active, or outdoor environments where carbon steel or brass fittings would be unsuitable. It falls within the 1000 lb and above pressure class category, appropriate for higher-pressure service lines in both residential mechanical rooms and commercial mechanical systems.

Compatibility

Rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam systems. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/4-inch FPT pipe connections in 1000 lb class plumbing and piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads of the mating fittings before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench to avoid stressing adjacent connections.
