1/2' BSPT Male Socket Union Coupler — 304 Stainless Steel Pipe Fitting Connector Key benefits Simple, reliable connection: joins two 1/2' BSPT threaded components quickly and securely, reducing installation time. Durable and corrosionresistant: 304 stainless steel construction resists rust and wear for long service life in wet and outdoor environments. Easy maintenance and disassembly: union coupler design lets you separate pipe sections without rotating connected equipment, simplifying repairs and modification. What this fitting does This 1/2' BSPT male socket union coupler provides a compact, threaded connection between compatible pipes, hoses, or fittings. The BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) male thread creates a tapered, pressuretight joint when installed with the appropriate sealant or tape. The unionstyle socket lets you join and later disconnect system sections without disturbing adjacent plumbing or mounted components. Key attributes Size: 1/2' nominal BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) male thread Material: 304 stainless steel for good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength Type: Male socket union coupler — designed for threaded pipe systems that use BSPT taper threads Compatibility: Fits 1/2' BSPT threaded fittings and pipes; not directly interchangeable with NPT (National Pipe Thread) without an adapter Installation: Use standard thread sealant (PTFE tape or liquid thread sealant) to achieve leakresistant connections Performance and suitability Well suited for water, air, and many generalpurpose fluids where 304 stainless steel is appropriate Robust enough for residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing and fluidhandling systems Union design reduces downtime for maintenance or part replacement Typical applications / use cases Plumbing repairs and installs: connect 1/2' BSPT supply lines, valves, and fixtures in domestic and commercial water systems. Pneumatic and compressed air systems: secure threaded connections for air tools, regulators, and piping where corrosion resistance is beneficial. Marine and outdoor installations: join sections of piping in boats, docks, and outdoor equipment where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. Installation tips Apply PTFE tape or an appropriate thread sealant to the male BSPT threads before assembly for a reliable seal. Do not force mismatched thread types; confirm BSPT thread compatibility before installation. Tighten to manufacturer or industryrecommended torque for the seal while avoiding overtightening. This 1/2' BSPT Male Socket Union Coupler made from 304 stainless steel offers a practical, longlasting solution for threaded pipe connections where ease of disassembly and corrosion resistance are important.
