NPT Threaded Connections
Female NPT x Female NPT
Both ends use female NPT threads for connection to compatible male NPT pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, or equipment connections.
Thread Sealing
Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on mating male NPT threads according to the system media, pressure, temperature, and installation requirements.
Typical Applications
Plumbing & Commercial
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Water distribution piping
- Pipe extensions
- Maintenance and repair
- Mechanical equipment connections
Industrial & Marine

Size Selection
Midland XH Bronze Couplings are available in straight and reducing configurations.
For straight couplings, confirm that both mating components use the same nominal male NPT size. For reducing couplings, verify both nominal pipe sizes and confirm the required larger-to-smaller transition before ordering.
Our pipe and fitting specialists can help review your nominal pipe sizes, straight or reducing configuration, female NPT connections, system media, pressure, temperature, and material compatibility before you order.

What material are these couplings made from?
They are manufactured from bronze.
What does XH mean?
XH stands for Extra Heavy and identifies the more robust construction of the fitting.
What type of connections do these couplings use?
They use female NPT threaded connections.
Are straight couplings available?
Yes. Straight coupling models connect two compatible male-threaded components of the same nominal pipe size.
Are reducing couplings available?
Yes. Reducing coupling models connect compatible male-threaded components of different nominal pipe sizes.
Why choose bronze?
Bronze provides dependable mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance in compatible plumbing, industrial, commercial, and marine piping environments.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on mating male NPT threads according to the application requirements.
What media can these couplings be used with?
The supplied product information identifies water, oil, air, and other compatible media as possible applications.
How do I choose between a straight and reducing coupling?
Use a straight coupling when both piping components are the same nominal size. Use a reducing coupling when transitioning between two different nominal pipe sizes.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm both connection sizes, straight or reducing configuration, mating male NPT threads, pressure, temperature, media compatibility, and installation requirements.
