Coupling Configuration
Female NPT Connection
One end features a precision-machined female NPT connection for installation with a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, or equipment connection.
Straight Coupling Body
The center body provides a direct in-line connection while maintaining the same nominal pipe size through the fitting.
Female NPT Connection
The opposite end also features a female NPT connection for joining another compatible male-threaded piping component of the same nominal size.
Construction Details
Midland Lead-Free Bronze Couplings are manufactured from high-quality lead-free bronze to provide dependable mechanical strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-term service in demanding threaded piping environments.
Precision-machined female NPT threads on both ends provide consistent engagement with compatible male-threaded components when installed using accepted piping practices.
The compact straight-body design provides a simple method for extending, repairing, or connecting threaded pipe runs without changing the nominal pipe size.
