Midland Industries 79414 Aluminum Coupling 3/4 Fpt X 3/4 Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 79414 is a full-coupling fitting machined from aluminum, designed to join two female-threaded pipe segments in a single inline connection. Both ends accept 3/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) at a 3/4-14 thread specification, making it a straight coupling with no reduction. Aluminum construction keeps weight low while offering adequate corrosion resistance for a wide range of fluid and gas distribution applications. This fitting is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on aluminum piping assemblies wherever a threaded union point is required.

The 79414 is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where aluminum fittings are specified. Common install scenarios include compressed air distribution lines, low-pressure gas systems compatible with aluminum fittings, and fluid transfer assemblies. The equal 3/4-inch FPT sizing on both ends means no bushing or reducer is needed when connecting two male-threaded pipe ends of the same nominal size.

Key Features

• Both connections are 3/4-inch FPT at 3/4-14 thread - no reduction, no offset
• Aluminum construction offers lightweight handling and corrosion resistance
• Straight coupling design simplifies inline pipe joining
• Single-unit MOQ makes it accessible for small repairs or retrofit jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for aluminum piping systems using 3/4-inch male NPT threaded pipe ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the specific media being conveyed before engaging threads. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten to a snug fit - avoid overtightening aluminum threads, which can strip or crack under excessive torque.
