Construction Details
Midland Bronze Couplings feature a one-piece cast bronze body designed to provide dependable mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life.
Female pipe threads on both ends provide secure engagement with compatible male-threaded pipe and fittings.
The straight-through configuration makes these couplings useful for extending pipe runs, joining threaded components, and completing repairs or system modifications.
Why Choose a Bronze Coupling?
Simple Straight Connection
- Joins equal-size threaded pipe sections
- Compact one-piece fitting
- Useful for pipe extensions
- Suitable for repairs and modifications
- Maintains a straight piping path
Bronze Construction
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Dependable mechanical strength

Equal-Size Connection
Same Nominal Size
This coupling is designed to join two compatible male-threaded components of the same nominal pipe size.
Reducing Applications
If two different nominal pipe sizes need to be connected, a reducing coupling or other appropriate transition fitting should be selected instead.
Typical Applications
Plumbing & Water Systems
- Residential plumbing
- Commercial plumbing
- Water distribution piping
- Pipe extensions
- Maintenance and repair
Commercial & Industrial
- Industrial piping systems
- Mechanical piping
- Valve and equipment connections
- System modifications
- General threaded piping assemblies
Size Selection
Midland Bronze Couplings are available in multiple nominal pipe sizes.
Confirm that both male-threaded components are the same nominal size and use compatible thread types before selecting the coupling.
Our pipe and fitting specialists can help review your pipe size, thread compatibility, system media, pressure, temperature, and installation requirements before you order.

What is a bronze coupling used for?
It is used to join two compatible male-threaded pipe sections or fittings of the same nominal size.
What material is this coupling made from?
It is manufactured from cast bronze.
What type of connections does it use?
It uses female threaded connections on both ends.
Does this coupling reduce pipe size?
No. This is a straight equal-size coupling. A reducing coupling should be used when connecting two different pipe sizes.
What connects to the coupling?
Compatible male-threaded pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, or other piping components can connect to each end.
Why choose bronze?
Bronze provides dependable mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance in compatible piping applications.
Can this coupling be used to extend a pipe run?
Yes. It can join two compatible equal-size male-threaded sections to extend or repair a threaded piping run.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use an approved pipe-thread sealant or thread tape as required by the application and applicable piping requirements.
Are multiple sizes available?
Yes. The supplied product information identifies multiple nominal pipe sizes.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm nominal pipe size, thread type, pressure requirements, system compatibility, and installation conditions.
