Description
A socket coupling joins two threaded pipes of the same size in a straight line. It has a female thread at each end, so each pipe screws in from one side. Therefore, it is the simplest way to extend a threaded pipe run. We stock socket couplings at our showroom in Nad Al Hamar, Dubai, for same-day collection across the UAE.
First, match the thread to your pipe: BSPT is common on UAE water lines, while NPT is common on oil and gas skids. Next, choose the material. For example, use GI for water, carbon steel for oil and air, and stainless steel 316 for chemicals.
Why Choose Our Socket Coupling
- Quick to fit: No welding is needed. Instead, you screw the pipes in with tape or paste.
- Pressure choice: Forged steel couplings come in 3000# and 6000#, while GI couplings suit water lines.
- Clean threads: We supply tapered NPT and BSPT threads that seal tightly.
- Half couplings too: In addition, half couplings let you add a branch to a larger pipe.

Where They Are Used
- Water and plumbing: for example, extending GI water lines.
- Compressed air: for instance, workshop air mains.
- Oil and gas: such as instrument and drain connections.
- Fire protection: in particular, small-bore sprinkler pipework.
