Product SKU: 01706-001
Product Overview
For installers working with Axis surveillance mounting hardware, the AXIS 1.5 in NPS/NPT Male Coupler (01706-001) solves a common on-site problem: joining threaded components that follow different pipe thread standards. Specifically designed to connect 1.5 inch National Pipe Straight (NPS) and National Pipe Tapered (NPT) male threads, this adapter allows pendant kits, pole brackets, and conduit accessories to be assembled without the need for workarounds or multiple intermediate fittings. Built with professional-grade materials, the coupler maintains mechanical strength and consistent alignment under load in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its compact form keeps mounting assemblies tidy and reduces hardware bulk at the junction point, making it a practical addition to any installation kit where NPS-to-NPT thread conversion is required.
Key Capabilities
NPS to NPT Thread Adaptation
Bridges the difference between 1.5 inch National Pipe Straight and National Pipe Tapered thread standards, allowing compatible Axis pendant kits, pole mounts, and conduit accessories to connect securely without mismatched engagement.
Stable Mechanical Connection
Precision threading ensures consistent fitment that resists loosening over time, maintaining alignment in mounting assemblies where vibration, wind load, or ongoing environmental exposure could otherwise compromise joint integrity.
Professional-Grade Construction
Built to perform in both indoor and outdoor mounting scenarios, this coupler uses robust materials suited to professional security deployments where hardware reliability and long-term durability are expected.
Installation Efficiency
Eliminates the need for multiple intermediate adapters or custom fabrication when thread standards differ on site. The coupler threads directly into compatible fixtures for a straightforward, time-saving fitment process.
Best For
- Pendant Kit Installations: Provides the necessary thread conversion when attaching Axis pendant kits to ceiling, soffit, or wall mounts where NPS and NPT thread standards do not match directly.
- Pole and Post Mounting: Acts as a reliable mechanical interface at the junction of outdoor poles or posts where pipe thread standards differ across mounting components.
- Conduit and Accessory Connections: Useful wherever 1.5 inch threaded conduit pieces or accessory adaptors require secure coupling between differing thread standards in a professional installation.
Why Choose the AXIS 1.5 in NPS/NPT Male Coupler
The AXIS 1.5 in NPS/NPT Male Coupler (01706-001) is purpose-built for professional surveillance installations where thread standard compatibility must be resolved cleanly and reliably. Unlike generic hardware store adapters, this coupler is matched to the Axis mounting ecosystem, ensuring it threads correctly into compatible pendant kits and pole brackets without the guesswork of sourcing third-party fittings. The precision-machined threads reduce the risk of cross-threading or joint play that can develop under load over time. For installers who need to maintain a consistent, professional finish on mounting hardware, this coupler keeps the assembly compact and eliminates improvised solutions. Available through Security Wholesalers, it is a straightforward stocking item for any installer regularly working with Axis camera mounts where NPS-to-NPT conversion is a recurring site requirement.
Buyer Tip: Before ordering, confirm the thread standard on both the male and female sides of your mounting assembly. NPS threads are parallel and rely on a gasket or sealant for a sealed joint, while NPT threads are tapered and self-sealing under pressure. This coupler joins 1.5 inch NPS and NPT male threads, so verify your fixture’s female thread type before installation to avoid a mismatch that requires an additional adapter.

Ideal Use Cases
Outdoor Pole Mounts
Where outdoor poles or posts use a different pipe thread standard to the camera mount or pendant kit, this 1.5 inch coupler provides a secure interface that maintains alignment and strength across the junction.
Ceiling and Soffit Pendant Kits
When attaching Axis pendant kits to ceiling or soffit mounting points that carry a differing thread standard, this coupler resolves the mismatch and produces a clean, stable threaded assembly without improvised hardware.
Conduit Entry Points
At conduit entry or accessory connection points in professional installations, the coupler provides a dependable threaded junction between NPS and NPT fittings, reducing the risk of loose or cross-threaded connections over time.
Multi-Site Commercial Installations
Installers working across multiple sites with varying pipe infrastructure benefit from keeping this coupler stocked. It eliminates the need to source custom fittings on short notice when NPS-to-NPT adaptation is required.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your mounting assembly requires a 1.5 inch thread conversion between NPS and NPT standards, particularly when working with Axis pendant kits, pole brackets, or conduit-based mounts.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires a different thread size (for example, 1 inch or 2 inch pipe threads) or if both sides of your assembly already share the same thread standard and no conversion is needed.
- Choose a different model if: Your fixture requires a female coupler rather than a male coupler at the adapter point, as this component is specifically a male coupler configuration.
FAQs
- What does the AXIS 01706-001 actually do?
The AXIS 01706-001 is a 1.5 inch NPS/NPT male coupler that allows threaded components using different pipe thread standards to be joined in a single, stable assembly. It is used in surveillance mounting setups where a thread conversion is needed between National Pipe Straight and National Pipe Tapered fittings at the 1.5 inch size. - What is the difference between NPS and NPT threads?
NPS (National Pipe Straight) threads have a constant diameter along their length and rely on a gasket or thread sealant to form a sealed joint. NPT (National Pipe Tapered) threads taper along the length and form a mechanical seal through thread compression as they are tightened. This coupler bridges a male connection between these 2 standards at the 1.5 inch pipe size. - Is the 01706-001 compatible with all Axis pendant kits?
This coupler is designed for use within the Axis mounting ecosystem where 1.5 inch threaded hardware is involved. Always confirm the thread size and standard of your specific pendant kit or mount before ordering to ensure the coupler matches the female thread on your fixture. - Can this coupler be used outdoors?
Yes. The 01706-001 is built with professional-grade materials suited to both indoor and outdoor mounting applications. For outdoor use on pole or post mounts, apply an appropriate thread sealant on the NPS side as required by your installation standard to help maintain joint integrity over time. - Where can I purchase the AXIS 1.5 in NPS/NPT Male Coupler?
The AXIS 01706-001 is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the broader Axis Communications accessories range, making it straightforward to source alongside pendant kits, pole mounts, and other Axis hardware components for your installation.
