Half Coupling Configuration
Female NPT Connection
The threaded opening accepts a compatible male NPT pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, or equipment connection.
Compact Half-Length Body
The shortened coupling profile provides a compact threaded outlet where a full coupling is unnecessary or where installation space is limited.
Fabrication-Friendly Design
The half coupling configuration is commonly incorporated into tanks, manifolds, vessels, and other fabricated assemblies requiring a threaded connection point.
Construction Details
Midland Aluminum Half Couplings are manufactured from high-quality aluminum to provide a dependable balance of mechanical strength, reduced weight, and corrosion resistance.
Precision-machined female NPT threads provide secure engagement with compatible male-threaded components when installed using accepted threaded piping practices.
The compact one-piece body is well suited for fabricated systems where a threaded outlet must be integrated into a tank, vessel, manifold, piping section, or custom assembly.
Why Choose an Aluminum Half Coupling?
Compact Threaded Outlet
- Provides a female threaded connection point
- Shorter profile than a full coupling
- Useful for fabricated assemblies
- Well suited for tanks and manifolds
- Supports repair and modification work
Lightweight Aluminum Construction
- Reduces overall assembly weight
- Corrosion-resistant material
- Easy handling during fabrication
- Suitable for compatible industrial environments
- Designed for dependable threaded service
NPT Threaded Connection
Female NPT
Each half coupling uses a female NPT connection designed to accept a compatible male NPT component of the corresponding nominal pipe size.
Thread Sealing
Use an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape on the mating male NPT connection according to the system media, piping material, and installation requirements.
Typical Applications
Fabrication & Equipment
- Tanks
- Pressure vessels
- Manifolds
- Equipment housings
- Custom fabricated assemblies
Industrial & Utility
- Industrial piping systems

- Maintenance and repair
- Compatible general-purpose applications
Size Selection
Midland Aluminum Half Couplings are available in multiple nominal pipe sizes.
Confirm the required nominal pipe size and verify that the mating component uses a compatible male NPT thread before ordering.
Our pipe and fitting specialists can help review your nominal pipe size, female NPT connection, fabrication method, tank or manifold application, system media, pressure, temperature, and material compatibility before you order.

What is a half coupling used for?
A half coupling provides a compact female threaded outlet that can be incorporated into tanks, manifolds, vessels, piping assemblies, and other fabricated components.
What material are these half couplings made from?
They are manufactured from aluminum.
What type of connection do they use?
They use a female NPT threaded connection.
How is a half coupling different from a full coupling?
A half coupling has a shorter body and is typically used to provide a single threaded outlet rather than joining two threaded components end-to-end.
Are multiple sizes available?
Yes. Midland Aluminum Half Couplings are available in multiple nominal pipe sizes.
Why choose aluminum?
Aluminum provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant option for compatible fabricated and threaded piping systems.
Can these be incorporated into tanks or manifolds?
Yes. The supplied product information identifies tanks, manifolds, vessels, and custom fabricated piping assemblies as typical applications.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape on the mating male NPT connection according to the application requirements.
Can aluminum be connected to dissimilar metals?
It may be used with compatible materials, but galvanic compatibility should be considered when aluminum is joined to dissimilar metals.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the nominal pipe size, mating male NPT thread, fabrication method, system pressure, temperature, media compatibility, and installation requirements.
