Whirlpool 69029108976 Half Coupling 1/2 in Screwed

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 69029108976 is a 1/2 inch forged steel screwed half coupling rated for 6000 lb service. Half couplings are threaded pipe fittings used to create a branch connection on a pipe run or to cap and extend a threaded line. This fitting accepts a mating threaded pipe on one end and is welded or installed on the other, making it a standard component in high-pressure piping assemblies. Plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting where a full coupling is not required and space or material savings are a priority.

This half coupling is suited for high-pressure industrial and commercial piping systems where screwed connections are specified. The 6000 lb pressure class makes it appropriate for demanding service conditions in steam, water, oil, or gas lines where code-compliant threaded fittings are required. It is a common component in mechanical rooms, process piping, and utility systems.

Key Features

• 6000 lb pressure class for high-pressure service applications
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size with screwed thread connection
• Forged steel construction for strength and durability
• Half coupling design reduces material use compared to full coupling where only one mating connection is needed
• Compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe in matching size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install screwed half coupling for 1/2 inch threaded pipe systems in high-pressure piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including ASME B16.11 standards for forged fittings. Shut off and depressurize the affected line completely before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on all threaded joints. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage threads and compromise the integrity of the fitting.
