Midland Industries 79784 Half Coupling 6 Inch Fpt Aluminum

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 79784 is a 6-inch aluminum half coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing, industrial piping, and fluid-handling systems. This fitting features a female pipe thread (FPT) connection on a 6-inch port with a 6-8 thread specification, machined from aluminum for corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to steel alternatives. Half couplings are used to create a threaded branch connection on a pipe or vessel, and this size is appropriate for larger-diameter piping systems. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working in commercial or industrial environments.

The 79784 half coupling is suited for use in aluminum piping assemblies where a female-threaded end connection is required on a 6-inch line. Common applications include fluid transfer lines, pneumatic systems, and industrial process piping where aluminum construction is specified for weight savings or corrosion considerations. This fitting is intended for professional installation in systems requiring a reliable, leak-free threaded joint at large pipe diameters.

Key Features

• 6-inch FPT connection for large-diameter threaded pipe assemblies
• Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and light weight
• 6-8 thread specification for standardized compatibility with matching male pipe threads
• Half coupling design allows branch or end connections on pipe runs and vessels
• Minimum order quantity of 1, suitable for single-unit replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style aluminum half coupling for 6-inch female pipe thread applications in industrial and commercial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or ASME B31 piping standards. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before cutting in or threading any new fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before engagement. Do not overtighten aluminum fittings, as the material is softer than steel and susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque.
