The B&K 160-005 Compression Coupling is a premium-grade fitting designed for secure, leak-resistant connections in galvanized steel piping systems. Engineered with a long-pattern hydroformed steel body, this coupling is ideal for joining two sections of 1-inch IPS (Iron Pipe Size) pipe in a straight line without the need for threading or soldering.

Constructed from galvanized malleable iron, the coupling offers superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity. It features a double-tapered EPDM rubber gasket that creates two seals at each end for enhanced leak protection. A metal friction ring ensures a tight grip on the pipe, while the compression design simplifies installation and maintenance, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

This coupling is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and is rated for 125 PSI working pressure and up to 210°F operating temperature, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of plumbing and mechanical applications.
