DTC‑PIPE COUPLING & UNION‑SS/CS Series
DTC supplies high-quality steel pipe couplings and unions for reliable pipe connection and maintenance applications. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel with threaded and socket weld designs according to ASME B16.11 standards.
Steel pipe couplings and unions are essential connection fittings used in industrial piping systems to join pipes, extend pipelines, and facilitate maintenance operations.
A pipe coupling is a cylindrical fitting used to connect two pipes of the same or different sizes. It provides a strong and permanent connection through threaded or socket weld designs.
A pipe union is a detachable pipe fitting consisting of three parts: two pipe ends and a central nut or connecting mechanism. Unlike couplings, unions allow pipes to be easily disconnected and reconnected without cutting the pipeline.
DTC supplies steel pipe couplings and unions in carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel for applications including oil & gas, chemical processing, water treatment, HVAC, and industrial piping systems.
Steel couplings and unions provide secure connections with excellent mechanical strength and leak resistance.
Threaded designs allow quick installation without welding equipment.
Pipe unions allow easy removal of pipeline components such as valves, filters, and instruments.
Available materials meet different pressure, temperature, and corrosion requirements.
Used in low, medium, and high-pressure industrial piping applications.

A pipe coupling is a fitting used to connect two pipes together, usually through threaded or socket weld connections.
A pipe union is a detachable fitting that allows pipes to be connected and disconnected easily for maintenance.
A coupling creates a more permanent pipe connection, while a union allows quick disconnection without cutting the pipe.
Forged steel couplings are commonly manufactured according to ASME B16.11, while unions are often manufactured according to MSS SP-83.
