Value Collection 41/2SPU1/4 Pipe Half Coupling 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 41/2SPU1/4 is a 1/4 inch pipe half coupling designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this fitting offers solid corrosion resistance in both wet and mildly corrosive environments. It connects via female NPT (FNPT) threads on the open end, allowing it to be welded or press-fit on the opposite end for permanent integration into a pipe run. Rated at 150 psi and conforming to Schedule 40 dimensions, it is sized for standard low-pressure service lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these fittings in a wide range of residential and light commercial applications.

This half coupling is suited for 1/4 inch pipe connections in water, air, and compatible fluid distribution systems. Its compact 25/32 inch length makes it practical in tight spaces where a full coupling is not required. Typical install scenarios include branch connections, pipe extensions, and stub-out terminations on Schedule 40 piping. The FNPT thread pattern is compatible with standard NPT male fittings across the trade.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and mildly aggressive service environments
• FNPT threaded end connection for fast, tool-ready assembly with standard NPT male fittings
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-pressure water, air, and fluid lines
• Schedule 40 dimensions for compatibility with standard pipe sizing
• Compact 25/32 inch length designed for confined or space-limited installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 1/4 inch Schedule 40 threaded piping systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before fitting removal or installation. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before assembly, and tighten to snug with pipe wrenches — do not overtighten stainless steel fittings as thread galling can occur. Inspect the connection for leaks after returning the system to service pressure.
