Value Collection 41/2SPU11/4 Ss Half Coupling Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 41/2SPU11/4 is a stainless steel half coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical piping systems. A half coupling provides a female NPT threaded socket on one end, allowing a pipe or fitting to be connected without requiring a full coupling on both sides. This fitting is fabricated from stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting in process piping, water supply lines, and equipment branch connections where a reliable threaded joint is required.

This half coupling is suited for residential and commercial plumbing applications, as well as light industrial piping systems where NPT threaded connections are specified. It is commonly used when adding a branch takeoff to an existing line, connecting instruments or gauges, or terminating a pipe run. The NPT end connection conforms to standard tapered thread specifications, ensuring a pressure-rated, leak-resistant joint when properly assembled with thread sealant or tape.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant compound or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack or deform fittings.
