Midland Industries 65772API Api Coupling 3/8 Fpt Steel 3000 Lb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 65772API is a steel API line coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in high-pressure gas and oil line applications. It features 3/8-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ends with a 3/8-18 thread specification and is rated to a 3000 lb pressure class. The coupling measures approximately 0.875 inches in diameter and 1.625 inches in length, weighing 0.13 pounds. Finished in black, it is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians working on schedule 80 and schedule 160 pipe and nipple assemblies.

This coupling is suited for use in residential and commercial gas piping systems where API-rated fittings are required. Its 3000 lb pressure class rating makes it appropriate for demanding service conditions typical of SCH 80 and SCH 160 pipe installations. The compact size and standard FPT threading allow straightforward integration into existing threaded pipe runs without special tooling beyond standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the gas or fluid line before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all threaded joints. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage the fitting or compromise the seal.
