What are Half Coupling?

A half coupling is welded or threaded on one side only — typically as a branch outlet onto a header or vessel nozzle. Socket weld and threaded half couplings are supplied to ASME B16.11.

Selection guidance

Specify end type, NPS, pressure class and whether the coupling will be welded onto pipe, plate or a fitting. Related forms: 90° Elbow · 45° Elbow · Tee · Cross · all forged fittings.

What to put on the PO

Include material grade / ASTM class, end type (socket weld or threaded), fitting form, size, pressure class, quantity, destination, and documentation (EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2, PMI, NACE, TPI). Email sales@savoypipinginc.com.

Frequently asked questions

What are Half Coupling?

Half Coupling are forged small-bore fittings used to join pipe, valves and instrumentation with socket weld or threaded ends. Size, class and material must match the piping class.

Which standards apply?

Dimensional: ASME B16.11 for most forged fittings; MSS SP-79 (reducer inserts), MSS SP-83 (unions) and MSS SP-95 (swage nipples / bull plugs) where applicable. Material follows the ASTM forging spec that matches the pipe (A182, A105, A350, A694, B564, etc.).

When should I choose Half Coupling?

Choose Half Coupling when the piping class and installation method call for this connection form. Confirm end type, NPS and Class 3000 / 6000 / 9000 on the purchase order.

What should be on the purchase order?

Material grade / ASTM class, end type (SW or threaded), fitting form, size, pressure class, quantity, destination, and documentation (EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2, PMI, NACE, TPI if required). Email sales@savoypipinginc.com.
