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.
