What Is an SP112 Threaded Coupling?
The Charman Inc SP112 threaded coupling is a straight 316 stainless steel fitting designed to join two compatible male-threaded piping components of the same nominal pipe size. Female threaded connections are provided at both ends of the coupling.
Couplings are commonly used to extend threaded piping runs, join threaded pipe or nipples, make repairs, and connect compatible threaded components while maintaining the same nominal pipe size through the fitting.
Why Choose a 316 Stainless Steel SP112 Coupling?
316 Stainless Steel Construction
- Provides strong general corrosion resistance
- Useful in many industrial and process environments
- Suitable where 316 stainless steel piping components are specified
- Durable construction for threaded piping systems
- Well suited for utility, mechanical, process, and equipment applications
Straight Threaded Connection
- Connects equal nominal pipe sizes
- Female threaded connections at both ends
- Accepts compatible male-threaded piping components
- Useful for extending and joining threaded piping runs
- No welding required for normal threaded assembly
Common Applications
Industrial & Process Piping
- Process piping systems
- Industrial utility piping
- Threaded stainless steel assemblies
- Equipment piping connections
- Maintenance and repair piping
Commercial & Mechanical Systems
- Commercial plumbing
- Mechanical piping systems
- Threaded pipe extensions
- Equipment and valve assemblies
- Retrofit and repair installations
Coupling vs. Reducing Coupling
An equal threaded coupling connects two compatible male-threaded components of the same nominal pipe size. A reducing coupling connects two different nominal pipe sizes while maintaining a straight piping configuration.
The SP112 couplings in this listing are equal-size couplings. Select the variation that matches the nominal pipe size on both mating components.
Where an SP112 Threaded Coupling Makes Sense
- Joining two sections of compatible threaded pipe
- Connecting threaded pipe and nipples
- Extending an existing threaded piping run
- Building stainless steel threaded assemblies
- Repairing or modifying threaded piping systems
- Connecting compatible valves, fittings, and equipment
- Industrial process and utility piping
- Commercial and mechanical piping systems
Ask Willy: Need Stainless Steel Fitting Information?
Review the Charman Inc stainless steel fittings specification sheet for product and dimensional information on SP112 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 both mating components have compatible male threaded connections.
- Confirm that an equal-size straight coupling is appropriate for the piping layout.
- Confirm that 316 stainless steel is compatible with the intended service.
- Inspect the coupling and mating threads for damage or contamination before assembly.
- Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the system media, pressure, temperature, and application.
- Begin threaded assembly carefully to reduce the risk of cross-threading.
- Tighten connections using appropriate tools and accepted threaded-piping practices.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the coupling or mating threads.
- Support connected piping to avoid excessive mechanical loading on the fitting.
- Confirm system pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Pressure-test completed piping assemblies where required.
- Installation should be completed by qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable codes and specifications.
Product Selection Considerations
Nominal Pipe Size
Select the SP112 coupling that matches the nominal pipe size of both compatible male-threaded components. Available sizes range from 1/8" through 4".
Equal vs. Reducing Connection
Use this equal coupling when both connections are the same nominal size. If the piping system requires a transition between different nominal sizes, select an appropriate reducing coupling instead.
