Anvil 0362062002 Black Socket Weld Coupling 3 in Class 3000

Product Description

The ANVIL 0362062002 is a 3-inch black socket weld coupling manufactured from forged carbon steel with a black finish. It is rated Class 3000 and carries a 3000 psi pressure rating, making it suited for high-pressure piping systems in industrial, commercial, and mechanical applications. This fitting connects same-size pipe sections using a socket weld end connection and meets multiple ASME and ASTM standards. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers install this fitting in process piping, steam, hydraulic, and gas distribution systems where dependable joint integrity under pressure is required.

This coupling is used in high-pressure pipe assemblies across industrial plants, refineries, commercial mechanical rooms, and similar installations. The socket weld design provides a strong, leak-resistant joint by allowing the pipe to be inserted into the socket before welding. Typical applications include steam lines, compressed air headers, gas distribution piping, and hydraulic systems requiring a full-penetration weld joint. The NPT thread standard noted in the specifications also identifies this fitting within standard domestic pipe sizing conventions.

Key Features

• Forged carbon steel construction for high-strength, high-pressure service
• Class 3000 pressure rating at 3000 psi for demanding system requirements
• Socket weld end connections for a strong, leak-resistant piped joint
• Black finish provides corrosion resistance during storage and installation
• Compliant with ASME B16.11, ASME B1.20.1, ASTM A105, ASTM A182, and ASTM A350
• Fits 3-inch pipe per NPT sizing standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3-inch Class 3000 socket weld piping systems where ASME B16.11 forged steel fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or qualified welder in accordance with applicable ASME B31 piping codes. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before cutting in or replacing any fitting. Socket weld joints require proper pipe insertion depth and a gap allowance before welding per ASME B16.11 procedure requirements. Do not apply thread sealant to socket weld connections.
