Coupling Configurations
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.
Standard or Reducing Body
Standard couplings join equal-size threaded components, while reducing configurations transition between two different nominal pipe sizes.
Female NPT Connection
The opposite end provides another female NPT connection sized according to the selected standard or reducing coupling configuration.
Construction Details
Midland Lead-Free Red Brass Couplings are manufactured from premium lead-free red brass for dependable strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance in compatible piping applications.
Female NPT threads are precision machined to provide consistent engagement with compatible male-threaded components when installed using accepted piping practices.
Standard couplings provide a direct inline connection between equal-size piping components, while reducing couplings allow an efficient threaded transition between different nominal pipe sizes.
