Value Collection BD-13838 Black Female Coupling 2in Sch 80 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-13838 is a 2-inch black steel female coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in industrial and commercial plumbing systems. This Schedule 80 fitting accepts NPT-threaded pipe ends and is finished in black, indicating standard black-iron pipe compatibility. The heavy-wall Schedule 80 construction provides greater pressure ratings and wall thickness compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of coupling to join two sections of male-threaded pipe within a run, or to extend an existing threaded line.

This coupling is suited for black-iron pipe systems used in gas distribution, steam, water, and industrial fluid applications where NPT-threaded connections and Schedule 80 wall thickness are specified. It is a standard 2-inch fitting appropriate for both new installation and maintenance work on existing threaded piping systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings than standard Schedule 40 fittings
• NPT-threaded end connections for compatibility with standard tapered-thread pipe and fittings
• Steel construction with black finish for use in black-iron pipe systems
• 2-inch fitting size for common mid-range pipe runs
• Female coupling configuration joins two male-threaded pipe ends in a continuous run

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch NPT-threaded Schedule 80 black-iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off the relevant gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before tightening. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
