This combination of a 1/2″ coupling, nut, and washer is often used in the installation of water meters, connecting the meter to the existing water supply piping. It ensures a secure and watertight connection.
When installing or replacing such components, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and use proper tools to ensure a tight and leak-free connection. Additionally, local plumbing codes and regulations should be adhered to during the installation process.
1/2″ Coupling:
This refers to the size of the coupling, and in this case, it is a 1/2″ coupling. The size represents the diameter of the pipe to which the coupling is attached. A 1/2″ coupling is designed for a pipe with a 1/2-inch diameter.
Nut:
The nut is a threaded component that is used to secure the coupling in place. It is typically tightened onto a threaded pipe or fitting.
Washer:
The coupling and nut come complete with a washer. The washer is a sealing component that helps prevent water leakage at the connection point. It is placed between the nut and the surface it is being tightened against.
