Coupling Construction
A threaded coupling provides two internally threaded openings arranged in a straight line. It is designed to connect two compatible male-threaded pipes, nipples, fittings, or equipment connections.
This configuration is commonly used to extend a threaded piping run or join two separate threaded sections without changing pipe direction.
The chrome-plated exterior provides a finished appearance for compatible installations where the fitting may remain exposed.
