The B&K 160-003 Compression Coupling is a high-quality, long-pattern fitting designed to join two sections of 1/2-inch iron pipe in a straight line. Built from galvanized malleable iron, this coupling is engineered for strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability in both residential and commercial plumbing systems.
Its hydroformed steel body ensures structural integrity, while the compression-style design eliminates the need for threading or soldering. The coupling includes double-tapered EPDM rubber gaskets and a metal friction ring, providing dual sealing and a secure grip on pipe ends. Ideal for repairs and new installations, this fitting is compatible with galvanized steel cut pipe and nipples.
