This coupling may not be suitable for high-pressure industrial steam systems or applications involving aggressive chemicals that are incompatible with the fitting's material composition. It is also not intended for use in gas distribution lines unless specifically certified for such purposes.

Key specifications

• Pipe connection size: 18 x 2.00 mm
• Thread type: 1/2 inch male thread
• Application: Water distribution systems
• Material: Durable plumbing-grade metal

To install the ARCO male coupling, ensure that the pipe end is clean, deburred, and properly prepared for the connection. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the male thread if required by local plumbing standards. Insert the pipe into the coupling and tighten the connection using suitable tools, ensuring that the fitting is seated correctly to prevent overtightening or damage to the threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the pipe diameter and thread type compatibility
• Check local plumbing codes and regulations
• Ensure the material is compatible with the fluid being transported
• Confirm the pressure and temperature requirements of your system

For optimal performance and safety, always perform a pressure test after installation to ensure that all connections are completely sealed and free from leaks.
