Value Collection 41/2SPU3 Half Coupling Npt Stainless Steel

Product Description

The Value Collection 41/2SPU3 is a stainless steel half coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical piping systems. Half couplings allow a branch connection to be added to an existing pipe run, with one threaded female NPT end accepting pipe or a threaded fitting on one side. Constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, this fitting is suited for use in environments where durability and resistance to rust and chemical exposure are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of component.

The 41/2SPU3 half coupling is appropriate for residential and commercial piping applications where NPT-threaded fittings are specified. Common install scenarios include water supply lines, process piping, and mechanical room branch connections. Its stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for wet or corrosive service conditions where carbon steel fittings would not be appropriate.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and rust in demanding service conditions
• NPT end connection for standard threaded pipe assembly
• Half coupling design enables branch connections on existing pipe runs
• Weighs 1.07 pounds for a solid, durable build
• Sold individually, one fitting per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service half coupling for NPT-threaded piping systems requiring stainless steel fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off water supply and depressurize the affected pipe section before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to NPT threads per standard practice and tighten to manufacturer or code-specified engagement. Do not over-tighten threaded stainless steel fittings, as galling of threads can result.
