Midland Industries 65773API Api Coupling 1/2 in Fpt Steel 3000 Lb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 65773API is a steel API line coupling designed for high-pressure gas and oil line connections in industrial and commercial piping systems. It features 1/2 in female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ends with a 1/2-14 thread specification, and is rated to a pressure class of 3000 lb. The coupling measures 1.063 inches in diameter and 2.125 inches in length, weighing 0.3 pounds. The black steel construction makes it suited for gas distribution and industrial pipe assemblies where standard malleable iron fittings are insufficient for the pressure demands of the application.

This coupling is intended for use with Schedule 80 and Schedule 160 nipples and pipe in gas, petroleum, and high-pressure fluid distribution systems. It fits within API line coupling assemblies typically found in commercial and industrial environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this fitting in applications where pressure ratings beyond standard 150 lb malleable fittings are required. Its FPT x FPT configuration allows direct inline connection between two male-threaded pipe or nipple ends.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified gas technician in accordance with applicable code requirements including IFGC and ASME B31.3 where applicable. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for the service fluid and pressure class to all threaded connections. Do not overtighten threaded joints; follow standard pipe thread engagement practices for the fitting size and material.
