Anvil 0362060402 Carbon Steel Coupling 3/8 in Socket Weld

Product Description

The ANVIL 0362060402 is a 3/8-inch forged carbon steel socket weld coupling rated at Class 3000 for high-pressure piping applications. It carries a black finish and is manufactured to meet ASME B16.11 socket weld fitting standards, making it a recognized choice for high-integrity connections in industrial and commercial piping systems. The socket weld end connection accepts pipe inserted into the bore, then joined by fillet weld around the hub. Weighing 0.16 pounds, this coupling is a single-piece unit sold individually. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This coupling is suited for small-bore, high-pressure piping systems carrying liquids or gases where a permanent, weld-joined connection is required. Class 3000 pressure-rated fittings are commonly found in steam, hydraulic, chemical, and process piping applications. The 3/8-inch size fits into tight routing configurations typical in mechanical rooms, equipment skids, and industrial plant piping. Compliance with ASME B1.20.1, ASME B16.11, ASTM A105, ASTM A182, and ASTM A350 supports use in pressure systems subject to code inspection.

Key Features

• Forged carbon steel construction for strength in high-pressure service
• Class 3000 pressure rating suitable for liquid and gas systems up to 3000 psi
• Socket weld end connections for full-penetration fillet weld joining
• Black finish for standard industrial use
• Meets ASME B16.11, ASME B1.20.1, ASTM A105, ASTM A182, and ASTM A350 standards
• Compact 3/8-inch size for small-bore piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style socket weld coupling for 3/8-inch Schedule 80 and higher small-bore forged steel piping systems in industrial, commercial, and process applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber working in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for pressure piping. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before cutting or fitting work begins. Socket weld fittings require a gap between pipe end and socket bore bottom before welding to allow for thermal expansion during the weld pass. All welding should be performed by a qualified welder following the applicable weld procedure specification.
