Value Collection 41/2SPU1/2 Ss Half Coupling Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 41/2SPU1/2 is a stainless steel half coupling designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies. A half coupling accepts pipe on one end only, making it the standard choice for branch connections, pipe extensions, and stub-out terminations in pressurized fluid systems. The NPT (National Pipe Taper) threaded end connection creates a tapered, leak-resistant seal when assembled with compatible male-threaded pipe or fittings. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting across a wide range of piping applications.

This half coupling is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where a threaded branch outlet or pipe-end connection is required. Typical applications include potable water systems, process piping, HVAC hydronic loops, and general industrial fluid service. The NPT thread pattern is compatible with standard pipe thread gauges used throughout North American trade work. Its compact size makes it practical in tight spaces where a full coupling would not be appropriate.

Key Features

• Half coupling design accepts pipe on one end for branch or extension connections
• NPT tapered thread end connection for a reliable, pressure-rated seal
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Compact form factor suited for confined installation locations
• Sold individually — quantity of one per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings in stainless steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B1.20.1 NPT thread standards. Always depressurize and drain the affected pipe section before removing or installing fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly — do not apply sealant to the first two threads. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten to avoid cross-threading or over-stressing the stainless steel threads.
