Value Collection 454-002NL Brass Pipe Coupling 3/8 in Mpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 454-002NL is a Class 125 brass pipe coupling designed to join two male pipe thread (MPT) ends in low-to-medium pressure plumbing systems. Built from red brass, this coupling handles up to 125 psi and fits standard 3/8-inch pipe threads. It is a straightforward, general-purpose fitting used wherever a threaded union is needed in water supply, light commercial, or residential plumbing lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of routine pipe assembly and repair work.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where 3/8-inch MPT connections are required. Typical uses include potable water supply lines, irrigation distribution, and general fluid conveyance systems operating within Class 125 pressure limits. The red brass construction offers good corrosion resistance in water service environments. It ships individually and is appropriate for both new construction and maintenance or repair scenarios.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns for the fitting size — do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is softer than iron and susceptible to thread damage. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
