Midland Industries 62420 Banded Coupling 3 in Fnpt 304 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62420 is a banded coupling designed for connecting two 3-inch female NPT threaded pipe ends in industrial and commercial piping systems. Built from 304 stainless steel, this fitting carries a 150 lb pressure class rating and uses a 3-8 thread specification. The banded construction reinforces the coupling body, making it suitable for demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of fitting in process, utility, and building systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required.

The 62420 is rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam, making it a versatile choice across a wide range of fluid and gas handling applications. It fits into residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where 150 lb class 304 stainless steel fittings are specified. The female NPT connections on both ends allow it to join threaded pipe runs or serve as an inline coupling between two male-threaded pipe segments.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments
• 150 lb pressure class rating suitable for standard industrial service
• 3-inch female NPT on both ends for inline pipe joining
• Compatible with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam service
• Banded body design adds structural reinforcement at the coupling
• 3-8 thread specification for proper engagement with standard NPT pipe ends

Compatibility

Rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam piping systems. Designed as an OEM-style 150 lb class replacement or new-installation coupling for 3-inch female NPT threaded piping in stainless steel systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the fluid service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing any existing fitting or installing this coupling. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the NPT threads. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack or distort the fitting body.
