This 1pc 304 stainless steel lengthened equal diameter threaded water pipe joint features a 1/4 inch male thread on one end and a 1/4 inch female thread on the other. It is designed as a straight, lengthened coupling to connect two 1/4 inch threaded pipe lines with matching thread standards. The equal diameter ends and onepiece construction provide a simple, robust connection for water piping applications. Key benefits Durable 304 stainless steel construction offers reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in water piping environments. Lengthened threaded portion provides deeper engagement for a more secure connection and improved alignment in restricted spaces. Equal diameter ends create a straightforward, compact coupling without changing the line size midrun. Onepiece design reduces potential leak points and simplifies installation and maintenance. Suitable for use in general water piping applications requiring a 1/4 inch thread on both ends (one male, one female). Key attributes Material: 304 stainless steel End configuration: 1/4 inch male thread on one end, 1/4 inch female thread on the other Lengthened threaded portion: yes Diameter: equal diameter ends Fitment: standard 1/4 inch pipe threads Pieces: 1 Applications and use cases Connecting two sections of 1/4 inch threaded water lines in residential, commercial, or light industrial plumbing. Extending a run where additional thread length is needed to accommodate valves, regulators, or other fittings in tight spaces. Replacing a short or damaged connector in existing stainless steel water systems to restore a secure, continuous line.
