Anvil 0362026403 Black Tee 2.5 in Socket Weld Class 3000

Product Description

The ANVIL 0362026403 is a forged carbon steel tee fitting with a black finish, rated Class 3000 for demanding high-pressure piping applications. Sized at 2.5 inches with socket weld end connections, this tee is built for branch connections in systems that carry liquids or gases at pressures up to 3000 psi. The forged carbon steel construction provides the strength and integrity required in industrial and commercial piping systems. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers specify this fitting where code and system design call for a socket weld configuration at 2.5 inches.

This fitting is suited for high-pressure liquid and gas service in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping installations. Socket weld fittings like this tee are commonly used in tight-clearance environments where a reliable, full-penetration weld joint is required. The black finish is standard for carbon steel fittings in non-decorative service. Typical applications include process piping, steam distribution, compressed air, and hydraulic systems where Class 3000 ratings are specified by the design engineer.

Key Features

• Forged carbon steel construction for high-strength, high-pressure service
• Class 3000 pressure rating — suitable for systems up to 3000 psi
• 2.5-inch socket weld end connections for full-penetration weld joints
• Black finish standard for carbon steel piping service
• Tee configuration allows inline branch connections in piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2.5-inch socket weld carbon steel piping systems rated at Class 3000.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the ASME B16.11 standard for forged fittings and the applicable piping system code. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before cutting into any line or removing existing fittings. Socket weld joints require proper fit-up, gap spacing per code, and full-penetration fillet welds performed by a qualified welder. Do not substitute socket weld fittings in systems that specify butt weld or threaded connections without verifying design and code compliance.
