Construction & Applications
Malleable Iron Construction
Manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197 for dependable strength and durability in threaded piping installations.
Banded Body Design
The reinforced banded coupling body is designed to provide added strength around the threaded connection area.
Standard NPT Threads
Female NPT threaded connections conform to ASME B1.20.1 for compatibility with properly sized male-threaded pipe.
Typical Applications
Industrial & Mechanical Piping
- Industrial piping systems
- Commercial piping
- Mechanical piping
- General threaded pipe connections
Common Services
- Water piping
- Gas piping
- Oil piping
- Fire protection systems
Simple Straight-Line Pipe Connection
A banded coupling provides a straightforward way to join two male-threaded pipe ends of the same nominal size in a straight run. Its threaded construction also allows the joint to be assembled without welding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a banded malleable iron coupling used for?
A banded coupling is used to join two male-threaded pipes of the same nominal size in a straight piping run.
What does “banded” mean on a coupling?
The banded design refers to the reinforced outer body around the threaded ends of the coupling, providing additional material around the connection area.
What type of connections does this coupling have?
The coupling uses female NPT threaded connections on both ends.
Can it connect two different pipe sizes?
This standard coupling is intended to connect matching nominal pipe sizes. A reducing coupling should be used when transitioning between different sizes.
What material is this fitting made from?
The coupling is manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197.
What standard applies to the fitting dimensions?
Malleable fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.3.
What thread standard applies?
NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
Is this a Class 150 fitting?
Yes. This is a 150# black malleable iron coupling.
Is this fitting UL Listed and FM Approved?
Yes. The supplied product information states that Class 150 fittings are UL Listed and FM Approved at 300 PSI.
Where are these fittings manufactured?
The listed countries of origin are Thailand and China, and the manufacturing facility is ISO certified.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the nominal pipe size before ordering.
- This is a straight banded coupling with female x female NPT connections.
- Both pipe ends should be the same nominal size unless a reducing coupling is specifically required.
- NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
- Use compatible pipe thread sealant and accepted threaded piping installation practices.
- Verify system pressure, service, code, and approval requirements before installation.
- Refer to the product specification sheet and Certificate of Conformance for additional product information.
