Value Collection 61/2SPU1/2 Ss Half Coupling Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 61/2SPU1/2 is a stainless steel half coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. A half coupling provides a single female-threaded socket, allowing a branch connection or end termination to a pipe run without the bulk of a full coupling. The NPT (National Pipe Tapered) end connection forms a pressure-tight mechanical seal when properly threaded and sealed with tape or compound. At 0.08 pounds, this is a lightweight fitting suited for light-duty branch connections where corrosion resistance is a priority.

This half coupling is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and general fluid-handling applications where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. A licensed plumber or pipefitter typically installs this fitting as part of a threaded piping assembly. It is sold individually, making it practical for single-point repairs or small-quantity jobs.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• NPT threaded end connection for standard tapered thread engagement and pressure-tight sealing
• Half coupling design allows efficient branch or end connections without excess material
• Lightweight at 0.08 pounds, easy to handle during installation
• Sold as a single unit for targeted repairs or low-volume jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe systems in plumbing and fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply PTFE tape or an appropriate pipe thread sealant compound to the male NPT threads before engagement. Do not overtighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on the adjacent fitting to avoid stress on the pipe run.
