AGAflex pipe fitting IK coupling 1 and 1/2" female thread 10020005

AGAflex pipe fitting IK coupling with 1 and 1/2" female thread (model 10020005) is a plumbing component designed to join two compatible threaded pipes or to connect a threaded accessory into a piping system. The coupling provides a secure internal-thread connection for installations that require a 1½" female interface and is suitable for use in fluid and gas lines where threaded connections are specified. Constructed to meet typical mechanical and dimensional requirements for threaded couplings, this part is intended for repair, extension or new assembly of pipe networks.

Advantages

The AGAflex IK coupling offers a standard 1 and 1/2" internal thread to ensure compatibility with matching male-threaded pipes and fittings. Its design simplifies replacement and extension tasks by allowing straightforward threaded assembly without special tools. The coupling is suitable for repeated assembly and disassembly when maintenance or modification of a piping system is necessary. As a branded plumbing fitting, it is manufactured to consistent dimensions that help maintain leak-free threaded joints when installed correctly with appropriate sealing practices.

Suitable for

• Joining two pipes with matching male threads (1½").
• Connecting threaded valves, adapters or accessories into a piping system.
• Repairing or extending sections of fluid or gas pipelines that use standard threaded fittings.

Key specifications

• Connection type: internal (female) thread.
• Thread size: 1 and 1/2" (1½").
• Function: straight coupling for threaded connections.
• Application medium: suitable for compatible fluid and gas installations where threaded metal or compatible material fittings are used.
• Typical use: repair, extension, or new assembly of threaded pipe systems.

How to use

Ensure both mating male threads are clean and undamaged before installation. Apply an appropriate sealing method for threaded connections—such as PTFE tape or approved thread sealant—on the male threads according to the installation standards for the medium (water, gas, etc.). Hand-start the coupling onto the male thread to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with appropriate tools until a secure, leak-free joint is achieved without over-torquing. Follow local codes and manufacturer recommendations for torque limits and sealing materials.

Usage recommendations

Confirm material compatibility and pressure ratings of the overall piping system before installation. Use approved sealing materials for the specific medium (e.g., potable water, natural gas) and perform a pressure or leak test after assembly according to applicable regulations.
