Construction Details
SCI Heavy Pattern Class 150 full couplings are manufactured from cast stainless steel. The 304 stainless steel version uses ASTM A351 Grade CF8 material, while the 316 stainless steel version uses ASTM A351 Grade CF8M.
The coupling incorporates female NPT threads on both ends to join two compatible male-threaded pipes, nipples, or fittings in a straight piping run.
The full-length coupling body provides threaded engagement from both sides while retaining a removable mechanical connection for compatible piping systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stainless steel full coupling used for?
A full coupling joins two compatible male-threaded pipes, nipples, or fittings in a straight in-line connection.
What figure numbers identify this coupling?
SCI identifies the heavy-pattern threaded full coupling as FIG S3114CP for 304 stainless steel and FIG S3116CP for 316 stainless steel.
What stainless steel grades are available?
The coupling is available in 304 stainless steel ASTM A351 CF8 and 316 stainless steel ASTM A351 CF8M configurations.
What type of connections does the coupling use?
The full coupling uses female NPT threaded connections on both ends.
What standard applies to the NPT threads?
The NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
Is 150# the same as a 150 PSI working pressure?
No. Class 150 identifies the fitting pressure class and should not be interpreted as a universal 150 PSI working-pressure rating.
How is a full coupling different from a half coupling?
A full coupling joins two male-threaded components, while a half coupling is typically used where only one coupling-side connection is required.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm pipe size, stainless steel grade, NPT connection requirements, process media, and system operating conditions.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the required pipe size.
- Select 304 or 316 stainless steel.
- Verify service compatibility.
- Use suitable thread sealant.
- Avoid excessive thread torque.
