Product Description

This Parker brass hex coupling is a pipe fitting with female National Piper Taper (NPT threads for connecting and extending two pieces of male pipe going in the same direction. It has NPT threads for creating tighter seals than straight threads and is made from brass, which is more economical, and offers greater corrosion resistance than steel. The hexagonal shape allows for increased leverage with a wrench during installation and disassembly. This fitting meets standards ANSI B31.1 and B1.20.1 for quality assurance.

Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
