Anvil 0362084808 Socket Weld End Cap 3/8 in Class 3000

Product Description

The ANVIL 0362084808 is a forged carbon steel socket weld end cap rated for Class 3000 service. It terminates a 3/8-inch pipe run at a dead end in high-pressure liquid or gas piping systems. The black finish is standard for carbon steel pipe fittings in industrial and mechanical applications. Rated to 3000 psi, this cap is built for demanding service conditions where threaded fittings would be inadequate. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in schedule 80 piping systems where a permanent, welded termination is required.

This end cap is suited for use in industrial piping, HVAC hydronic systems, and process piping where 3/8-inch socket weld connections are specified. It is designed for use with Schedule 80 pipe and is appropriate for both liquid and gas service. The socket weld design requires fillet welding by a qualified welder, making it the preferred choice over threaded caps in high-cycle or high-pressure environments.

Key Features

• Compatible with Schedule 80 pipe per ASME B16.11
• Black finish standard for carbon steel pipe fittings
• Meets ASME B1.20.1, ASME B16.11, ASTM A105, ASTM A182, and ASTM A350 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style socket weld end cap for 3/8-inch Schedule 80 carbon steel piping systems operating under Class 3000 pressure conditions.

Installation Notes

Socket weld fittings must be installed by a qualified pipefitter or welder in accordance with applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 depending on the service application. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line. The socket weld connection requires proper gap clearance between pipe end and socket before fillet welding per ASME B16.11 guidelines. Do not use this fitting as a threaded connection — it is designed exclusively for socket welding.
