Value Collection 61/2SPU1/8 Ss Half Coupling Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 61/2SPU1/8 is a stainless steel half coupling designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. A half coupling connects a branch pipe to a main run or closes off a pipe end with a threaded connection on one side only. The NPT (National Pipe Taper) end connection provides a pressure-tight seal when mated with a matching male NPT fitting or pipe thread. At 0.03 pounds, this is a lightweight fitting suited for small-diameter branch connections. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on low- to medium-pressure fluid and gas distribution systems.

This half coupling is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping applications where a stainless steel threaded branch connection is required. Stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments, making it a common choice for potable water, steam, and process piping installations. Typical use cases include adding a tapped outlet to an existing pipe run, capping off a branch stub, or creating a threaded port for instrumentation.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance for demanding piping environments
• NPT threaded end connection for a tapered, pressure-rated seal
• Half coupling design allows single-side threaded branch connections
• Compact and lightweight at 0.03 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces
• Single-piece package quantity for individual replacement or repair use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT half coupling replacement fitting for threaded stainless steel pipe assemblies in plumbing and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe system completely before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant tape or compound to the NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Follow applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the specific fluid or gas service.
