3-Inch Copper Dimple Stop Coupling

This Nibco 600DS coupling joins two 3-inch copper tubes in a straight line for drain, air, gas and potable water systems. The wrot copper construction and dimple stop keep both tubes centred without extra measuring. It suits installers who need a permanent sweat connection in commercial or residential plumbing.

Sweat Installation With Built-In Depth Stop

Clean both tube ends, apply flux and slide each tube until it hits the internal dimple that sets the insertion depth. The stop prevents over-insertion that can block flow or create a weak joint. The only common error is insufficient heat on the larger 3 1/8-inch outer diameter, which leaves voids in the solder fillet.

Rated For 317 PSI At 100 Degrees F

Under sustained pressure the coupling holds its seal up to the rated 317 psi at 100 degrees F, and the copper body withstands continuous temperatures up to 400 degrees F without softening. It is not designed for pressures or temperatures beyond those published limits.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the coupling is sealed after soldering?

Pressure-test the joint up to 317 psi at 100 °F and verify no leaks; the dimple stops ensure correct insertion depth.

What comes with the fitting and what must I supply?

The box contains the straight copper coupling only; you must provide copper tube, flux, solder and a torch for sweat installation.

Which size matches a 3-inch nominal copper line?

Choose the 3 in nominal version — both ends accept 3 1/8 in outside-diameter tube for sweat connection.
