160-003 – 1/2" Galvanized Steel Compression Coupling

The 160-003 1/2" Galvanized Compression Coupling is a compact, high-integrity fitting designed to join two sections of pipe without the need for threading, welding, or soldering. Ideal for repair scenarios, retrofits, or new installations, this coupling provides a secure, leak-resistant connection through mechanical compression—making it especially valuable in systems where pipe rotation is limited or where disassembly may be required.

Fabricated from galvanized steel, the coupling offers excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. The zinc coating acts as a protective barrier against moisture and oxidation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Commonly used in water distribution, irrigation systems, and low-pressure fluid or air lines, this fitting is a go-to solution for contractors and maintenance professionals seeking fast, reliable pipe connections.

The 160-003 features dual compression ends, each equipped with a nut and ferrule. When tightened, the ferrules compress against the pipe wall to form a tight seal, eliminating the need for sealants or pipe dope. This design simplifies installation and reduces labor time, especially in tight or awkward spaces. It is compatible with galvanized steel pipe and other rigid piping materials of matching diameter.
