AXIS 01706-001 1.5" NPS/NPT Male Coupler
- Sku: 1.5" NPS/NPT
- Vendor: SecurityAustralia
Why This Model
- Dual-standard threading: NPS/NPT compatibility means the coupler works across both pipe standards, reducing the need to source separate fittings on site.
- Axis ecosystem fit: Designed specifically for use within the Axis mounting accessory range, ensuring reliable mechanical compatibility with pendant arms, poles, and conduit mounts.
- 1.5" trade size: Matches the most common conduit entry size used in commercial and industrial camera installations, making it a practical addition to any installer's kit.

Product Overview
Model: AXIS 01706-001
Who This Is For
For installers working with Axis camera systems who need to connect a camera or mounting bracket to an existing 1.5-inch NPS or NPT threaded pipe, conduit, or pendant arm. The AXIS 01706-001 1.5" NPS/NPT Male Coupler is the hardware link that makes that connection possible - bridging the camera's mounting interface to standard pipe infrastructure already run on-site. It suits commercial and industrial installations where cameras are pole-mounted, pendant-mounted, or connected to conduit drops from ceiling voids. If you are specifying an Axis camera for a site with existing 1.5-inch threaded pipe runs and need a clean, mechanically sound connection point, this coupler covers that requirement without fabricating custom adapters or reworking your conduit infrastructure.
What This Accessory Actually Does
NPS/NPT Thread Compatibility
The male coupler is threaded to the 1.5-inch NPS/NPT standard - the most common pipe thread sizing used in Australian commercial conduit and pole infrastructure. This removes the need for non-standard adapters when connecting to site pipe runs.
Axis Ecosystem Integration
Designed and manufactured by Axis Communications to pair with Axis camera housings and mounting brackets. Using a native Axis coupler ensures dimensional compatibility and avoids the fitment issues that can arise when mixing third-party hardware with Axis mounting systems.
Pendant and Pipe Mount Applications
Suited to pendant arm installations, pole-top drops, and ceiling conduit connections. Where a camera needs to hang or project from a pipe end rather than sit flush on a surface, this coupler provides the mechanical interface to make that configuration work cleanly.
Clean Conduit Entry Point
A threaded male coupler at the camera end keeps cabling contained within the pipe run all the way to the camera head. This matters on exposed outdoor or industrial installations where unterminated cable entries create ingress risks and fail inspection requirements.
Who Buys This Model
- Commercial Security Installers: Running Axis cameras on pendant arm or pipe drop configurations in warehouses, car parks, and retail centres where 1.5-inch conduit is already part of the building infrastructure.
- System Integrators Standardising on Axis: Specifying native Axis mounting hardware across a project to maintain warranty integrity and ensure mechanical fitment aligns with Axis housing tolerances.
- Electrical Contractors: Pre-terminating conduit drops before the camera head arrives on-site, needing the correct male thread coupler installed at the pipe end to accept the Axis bracket.
- Maintenance Teams Adding Cameras to Existing Infrastructure: Sites with 1.5-inch pipe arms already in place that need to add or relocate an Axis camera without replacing the pipe infrastructure.
Honest Assessment
The AXIS 01706-001 does one thing: it gives you a clean, correctly threaded male coupling at 1.5-inch NPS/NPT to connect Axis mounting hardware to standard pipe infrastructure. For installers working within the Axis ecosystem on pipe-mounted or pendant configurations, this is the correct part - it is dimensionally matched to Axis housings and removes the guesswork that comes with generic couplers from a hardware supplier. It is available through Security Australia as part of the Axis accessories range.
Where this does not apply: if your installation uses surface mounts, wall brackets, or ceiling junction boxes without a pipe stub, you do not need this coupler. It is also specific to 1.5-inch NPS/NPT threading - sites with different pipe sizing will need the appropriate Axis coupler for that dimension. This is a mechanical accessory with no electrical or data function.
Before You Buy
Installer Note: Confirm the thread size on your existing pipe or conduit before ordering. NPS (National Pipe Straight) and NPT (National Pipe Taper) share the same thread count and pitch at 1.5 inches but have slightly different sealing characteristics. Check which standard your site infrastructure uses and whether your Axis bracket requires a straight or tapered thread engagement. If you are unsure which Axis mounting bracket this coupler is intended to pair with, cross-reference the AXIS 01706-001 part number against your camera model's mounting accessory list in the Axis product documentation.
Quick Fit Check
- Good match if: Your installation uses 1.5-inch NPS/NPT threaded pipe arms or conduit drops and you are mounting an Axis camera that requires a male coupler at the pipe end.
- Good match if: You are standardising on native Axis mounting accessories across a project and need the manufacturer-matched coupler rather than an aftermarket equivalent.
- You may need a different model if: Your pipe infrastructure uses a different thread size or standard - Axis produces couplers in multiple sizes, and selecting the correctly sized accessory for your conduit is necessary before purchasing.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
Real-World Scenarios
How It Compares
- Choose this if: Your site has 1.5-inch NPS/NPT threaded pipe infrastructure and you are installing an Axis camera that requires a native male coupler to connect to that pipe end.
- You may need a different model if: Your conduit or pipe arms use a different thread size or a metric standard - Axis produces couplers across multiple thread sizes, and the correctly sized variant is required for a proper mechanical fit.
- Pairs well with: Axis pendant mounting brackets, Axis wall and pole mount arms, and any Axis camera housing that uses a pipe-thread mounting interface.
Common Questions
-
Will this coupler work with any brand of pipe or conduit arm, or is it Axis-specific?
The thread itself is a standard 1.5-inch NPS/NPT male thread, so it will engage with any pipe or conduit using that same thread standard regardless of brand. However, the mating face and dimensions are designed to pair with Axis mounting brackets. Using it to connect non-Axis hardware is possible at the thread level but fitment to the bracket side is not guaranteed unless that bracket specifies NPS/NPT compatibility. -
Does this coupler carry any cabling or electrical connection?
No. The AXIS 01706-001 is a mechanical coupler only. It provides the threaded connection point between the pipe infrastructure and the Axis mounting bracket. All cabling - power, data, or combined PoE - runs through the pipe independently and connects directly to the camera head via the bracket assembly. -
What is the difference between NPS and NPT threading on this coupler?
NPS (National Pipe Straight) has straight threads, while NPT (National Pipe Taper) has threads that taper slightly toward the end. The 1.5-inch size shares the same thread pitch and count between the two standards, which is why this coupler is listed as NPS/NPT compatible. In practice, NPT threads create a tighter mechanical seal on tapered pipe fittings, while NPS relies on a gasket or O-ring for sealing. Confirm which standard your site pipe uses before installation. -
Will this coupler work for outdoor installations?
Yes, provided it is used within an Axis mounting assembly rated for outdoor use. The coupler itself is a structural mechanical part - weatherproofing of the overall installation depends on the ingress protection rating of the Axis camera housing and bracket it is part of, not the coupler alone. Axis outdoor mounting assemblies using this coupler are routinely installed in exposed environments. The AXIS 01706-001 is part of the Axis accessories range stocked by Security Australia. -
How do I confirm this is the right Axis coupler for my specific camera model?
Cross-reference the AXIS 01706-001 part number against the mounting accessory list published in your specific Axis camera model's installation guide or the Axis product compatibility page. Axis documents recommended and compatible mounting accessories per camera model. If your camera guide references a 1.5-inch NPS/NPT male coupler, this is the correct part.
