About Threaded Half Coupling
We are instrumental in supplying the premium quality Threaded Half Coupling that is popularly known among our clients owing to its reliable performance and longevity. This is a hollow short length pipe tube designed to help connect tubes and metal pipes together. The coupling has got inner threads that eliminate the requirements of welding to connect the pipes. Due to its high build quality and distinct surface finish, this half coupling is highly demanded in the marketplace. Threaded Half Coupling does not degrade in quality or become inferior in the long run.
Precision Engineering and Material QualityManufactured using SS304 or SS316 stainless steel, each Threaded Half Coupling undergoes a polished surface treatment for added corrosion and rust resistance. The product features a metal-to-metal sealing type and rigid construction, ensuring long-term integrity in high-pressure and temperature environments.
Standard Compliance and Testing AssuranceEvery coupling is built to ASTM A105 and ASME B16.11 specifications, with threading adhering to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards for NPT or BSP types. Hydrostatic testing guarantees reliable performance under rated pressure conditions, providing confidence in installation and usage.
Flexible Applications and Easy InstallationWith its female threaded, cylindrical, and round design, the coupling simplifies the process of connecting pipes in plumbing, industrial, and pipe fitting tasks. The coupling is packaged securely in boxes or wooden cases and can be reused, making it cost-effective and convenient for various environments.
FAQs of Threaded Half Coupling:
Q: How can I install the Threaded Half Coupling with a threaded end connection?
A: Installation is straightforward: simply screw the female threaded end onto the male thread of your pipe, ensuring alignment with the ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standard (NPT/BSP). Use standard tools, and the metal-to-metal seal creates a secure, leak-proof joint.
Q: What benefits does the corrosion and rust resistance offer for industrial applications?
A: Corrosion and rust resistance provided by the SS304/SS316 material and polished surface treatment extends the life of the coupling, reduces maintenance needs, and ensures reliable performance in demanding environments like chemical plants and plumbing systems.
Q: When should I use a Threaded Half Coupling instead of other pipe fittings?
A: Threaded Half Couplings are ideal when you need a robust, reusable fitting on schedule 40 pipes, especially for systems requiring easy installation, secure connections, and maintenance flexibility. Use them for joining or extending pipes in industrial, plumbing, or HVAC setups.
Q: Where are Threaded Half Couplings typically used?
A: These couplings are commonly utilized in industrial facilities, plumbing networks, and pipe fitting projects. They are suitable for connecting pipes and equipment where female threaded connections and high pressure or temperature ratings are required.
Q: What is the process for hydrostatic testing and why is it important?
A: Hydrostatic testing involves subjecting the coupling to water pressure beyond its operational limit (up to 3000 lbs), ensuring it remains leak-proof and structurally sound. This process guarantees product safety and reliability before installation.
Q: Can the coupling be reused after disassembly, and what are the advantages?
A: Yes, the coupling is designed for reusability. After disassembly, it can be cleaned and reconnected, making it cost-effective for systems that require frequent maintenance or alterations without sacrificing performance.
Q: What sizes and material grades are available for Threaded Half Couplings?
A: The couplings are manufactured in diameters ranging from 1/2 inch to 4 inch and lengths from 38 mm to 65 mm, with material grades SS304 and SS316 to suit different application requirements and standards.
