This Quantum-series coupling accommodates pipe outside diameters ranging from 2.84 to 3.35 inches, making it suitable for joining or repairing pipes near the nominal 2.5-inch size range. The bolted design allows field technicians to achieve a secure, leak-resistant mechanical connection without welding or special tooling. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and utility maintenance crews are the primary installers of this type of coupling in both above-ground and buried service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is typically used in residential and light commercial water distribution, irrigation, and industrial process piping where a fast mechanical repair or transition connection is needed. The Quantum metal bolted style is well suited for straight pipe coupling on steel, ductile iron, cast iron, and comparable pipe materials within its stated diameter range. It is particularly useful in repair situations where a damaged pipe section must be sealed quickly without cutting out a long section of pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts pipe outside diameters from 2.84 to 3.35 inches for flexible fitment across nominal pipe sizes near 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMetal bolted construction provides a durable, high-strength mechanical connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuantum-series design intended for pipe repair and coupling in pressurized piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo welding required — field-installable with standard hand tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrder increment of 1 allows single-unit purchasing for spot repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style mechanical coupling for pipes with an outside diameter in the 2.84 to 3.35 inch range, consistent with nominal 2.5-inch pipe in various schedule and material classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the line before installing any mechanical coupling. Clean and deburr the pipe ends within the coupling engagement zone before seating the gasket and tightening the bolts. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for buried or pressurized service, and torque fasteners evenly in an alternating pattern per the manufacturer's printed installation sheet supplied with the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.84 to 3.35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoupling Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal Bolted (Quantum Series)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrder Increment\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SMITH - BLAIR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.61028E+13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SMITH - BLAIR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51396365615410,"sku":"4.61028E+13","price":211.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312834371.jpg?v=1782830334","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/smith-blair-4-61028e-13-metal-bolted-coupling-2-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
