STRAIGHT PIPE COUPLING: A merchant style coupling that joins one straight length of pipe to another straight length of pipe, with a female connection at each end; used in low pressure piping runs such as water, oil, air or gas lines
MALLEABLE BLACK IRON: Made of malleable iron, chosen for its tensile strength, with a black finish; the black iron coupling matches other black iron pipe and fittings, so a run of pipe keeps one consistent look from end to end
SIZE AND FIT: Fitting size is 1/2 in on both ends, so it joins two pipes of the same 1/2 in size; measure your pipe and check the size on each end before you order to confirm the right match for your line
NOT A REDUCER: A standard coupling with female connection type on both ends; it is not a reducing fitting, so both ends stay at the same 1/2 in size, which suits a replacement or an extension of an existing straight pipe run
PACK OF 1: Each order contains one malleable black iron pipe coupling in 1/2 in size, so you can choose 1 or 2 to match your project, whether you need a single replacement fitting or a second one for another joint in the run
