Parker Stainless Steel 316 Pipe Fitting, Hex Coupling, 1/2" NPT Female X 1/2" NPT Female

The Parker stainless steel 316 hexagonal coupling is a pipe fitting with female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for connecting and extending two pieces of female pipe going in the same direction. It has NPT threads for creating tighter seals than straight threads and is made from stainless steel 316, which is higher strength and more corrosion resistant than stainless steel 304. The hexagonal shape allows for increased leverage with a wrench in 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).
