Description

304 Stainless Steel 150# Threaded Half Coupling - SP112

Charman Inc 304 Stainless Steel 150# Threaded Half Couplings - SP112 provide a compact female-threaded connection point for stainless steel piping, vessel, tank, fabrication, and equipment applications. Available in nominal pipe sizes from 1/8" through 3", these fittings combine corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel construction with a female NPT connection.

Unlike a full coupling, which provides female-threaded connections from both ends, a half coupling is shorter and provides a single female NPT connection. This makes the SP112 half coupling well suited for fabricated assemblies and applications where a threaded branch or equipment connection is required.

What Is an SP112 Half Coupling?

The Charman Inc SP112 half coupling is a compact stainless steel fitting with a female NPT connection. It is shorter than a full coupling and is commonly used where a single threaded connection point is needed rather than an in-line connection between two male-threaded components.

Half couplings are frequently incorporated into fabricated piping assemblies, vessels, tanks, equipment, headers, and other components where a female-threaded connection needs to be added in a compact fitting profile.

Why Choose a 304 Stainless Steel SP112 Half Coupling?

304 Stainless Steel Construction

  • Good general corrosion resistance
  • Suitable for many industrial and commercial environments
  • Durable stainless steel construction
  • Useful where stainless steel piping components are specified
  • Well suited for mechanical, process, and fabricated assemblies

Compact Connection Point

  • Shorter configuration than a full coupling
  • Provides a female NPT connection
  • Useful where installation space is limited
  • Well suited for tanks, vessels, and fabricated components
  • Available across a wide range of nominal pipe sizes

Common Applications

Fabrication & Equipment

  • Tank connections
  • Vessel connections
  • Fabricated piping assemblies
  • Equipment connection points
  • Headers and manifolds

Industrial & Mechanical Systems

  • Process piping
  • Industrial utility systems
  • Mechanical piping installations
  • Stainless steel piping assemblies
  • Maintenance and repair projects

Half Coupling vs. Full Coupling

A full coupling is designed to join two compatible male-threaded components in line and therefore provides threaded engagement from both ends. A half coupling is shorter and is generally used to provide a single female-threaded connection point.

The SP112 fittings in this listing are half couplings. They are particularly useful in fabricated assemblies, tanks, vessels, equipment, and similar applications where the compact half-coupling configuration is preferred.

Where an SP112 Half Coupling Makes Sense

  • Adding a female-threaded connection to a fabricated assembly
  • Providing threaded connections on tanks or vessels
  • Equipment connection points
  • Headers and manifolds
  • Space-restricted piping assemblies
  • Industrial fabrication and maintenance projects
  • Applications where a full-length coupling is unnecessary

Ask Willy: Need Stainless Steel Fitting Information?

Review the Charman Inc stainless steel fittings specification sheet for product and dimensional information on stainless steel threaded fittings, or use the complete stainless steel fittings catalog to compare available fitting styles, configurations, and sizes before ordering.

Installation & Selection Guidance

  • Confirm the required nominal pipe size before ordering.
  • Verify that the mating component has a compatible male NPT connection.
  • Confirm that the half-coupling configuration is appropriate for the intended fabrication or piping application.
  • Confirm that 304 stainless steel is compatible with the intended service.
  • Inspect threads for contamination or damage before assembly.
  • Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the system media and operating conditions.
  • Begin threaded assembly carefully to reduce the risk of cross-threading.
  • Tighten the threaded connection using appropriate tools and accepted piping practices.
  • Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the fitting or mating threads.
  • When incorporated into fabricated assemblies, use fabrication and joining procedures appropriate for stainless steel components.
  • Confirm pressure and temperature requirements for the complete piping system.
  • Installation and fabrication should be completed by qualified personnel.

Product Selection Considerations

Nominal Pipe Size

Select the SP112 half coupling based on the nominal pipe size of the male NPT component that will connect to the fitting. Sizes in this listing range from 1/8" through 3".

Full vs. Half Coupling

Choose a half coupling when a compact single female-threaded connection is required. Choose a full coupling when two male-threaded components need to be joined in a straight piping run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Charman Inc SP112 half coupling?

It is a compact 304 stainless steel 150# fitting that provides a female NPT connection for piping, equipment, tank, vessel, and fabricated assembly applications.

What is a half coupling used for?

A half coupling is commonly used to provide a single female-threaded connection point on equipment, tanks, vessels, headers, manifolds, and fabricated piping assemblies.

What material are these SP112 half couplings made from?

The half couplings in this listing are manufactured from 304 stainless steel.

What connection does the SP112 half coupling have?

It provides a female NPT threaded connection for a compatible male NPT component.

What SP112 half coupling sizes are available?

This listing includes 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", and 3" nominal pipe sizes.

What is the difference between a half coupling and a full coupling?

A full coupling is used to join two compatible piping components through connections at both ends. A half coupling is shorter and provides a single connection point.

Can a half coupling be used on a tank or vessel?

Half couplings are commonly used as compact threaded connection points in tank, vessel, equipment, and other fabricated applications. Confirm the fitting and fabrication method are appropriate for the specific system design.

Should thread sealant be used?

Use a thread-sealing method suitable for the system media, pressure, temperature, fitting material, and applicable installation requirements.

How do I choose the correct size?

Select the half coupling that matches the nominal pipe size of the compatible male NPT connection being installed.
