Service Metal 3mcplht.50 Half Coupling Class 3000 0.5 in

Product Description

The SERVICE METAL 3mcplht.50 is a Class 3000 forged carbon steel threaded half coupling designed for high-pressure pipe connections in industrial and commercial piping systems. Manufactured to ASTM A105/ASME SA105 material specifications and conforming to ASME B16.11 forged fittings standards, this half coupling provides a reliable female-threaded outlet for branch connections or pipe terminations. At 0.5 inches, it is suited for tight-clearance installations where a full coupling is impractical. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of forged fitting.

This half coupling is used in pressure piping applications including steam, water, oil, and gas distribution systems where a Class 3000 pressure rating is required. The female-threaded-by-female-threaded end connection accepts NPT-threaded pipe conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, making it compatible with standard Schedule 160 pipe wall thickness arrangements common in high-pressure service. It is equally applicable in new construction and retrofit piping projects across industrial, HVAC, and process piping environments.

Key Features

• Class 3000 pressure rating suitable for high-pressure piping service
• Forged carbon steel construction per ASTM A105/ASME SA105 for strength and durability
• Female threaded x female threaded end connections conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT standard
• Manufactured to ASME B16.11 forged fittings standard for dimensional and pressure-class compliance
• Half coupling design allows branch or end connections where a full coupling is not required
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds, minimizing added load on pipe assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style forged steel threaded fitting for use with 0.5-inch NPT-threaded pipe in Class 3000 high-pressure piping systems conforming to ASME B16.11 and ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 as required by the system service. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before beginning any fitting installation or thread engagement work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads per job specifications before make-up. Do not use this fitting beyond its rated pressure class or outside its intended service conditions.
