Anvil 0362500605 Black Union 3/8 in Socket Weld Class 3000

Product Description

The ANVIL 0362500605 is a forged carbon steel black union designed for socket weld connections in high-pressure piping systems. Rated at Class 3000 and 3000 psi, this union provides a reliable mechanical connection point that allows piping sections to be assembled and disassembled without cutting. It is sized at 3/8 inch and carries a black finish. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial contractors install this fitting in steam, gas, and liquid process lines where pressure integrity and code compliance are required. It meets ASME B16.11 forged fittings standards and ASTM A105 material specifications.

This union is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where socket weld connections are specified. Typical applications include high-pressure steam lines, hydraulic systems, oil and gas distribution piping, and industrial process pipework. The 3/8 inch size fits smaller-diameter branch lines and instrument connections. Its Class 3000 pressure rating makes it appropriate for systems operating at elevated pressures where threaded or lower-class fittings would not meet design requirements.

Key Features

• Class 3000 pressure rating at 3000 psi for high-pressure service
• Forged carbon steel construction for strength and durability
• Socket weld end connections per ASME B16.11
• Black finish for corrosion resistance in typical pipe system environments
• Compliant with ASME B1.20.1, ASME B16.11, ASTM A105, ASTM A182, and ASTM A350
• NPT thread standard for broad system compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for 3/8 inch socket weld piping systems requiring Class 3000 forged carbon steel unions per ASME B16.11.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters or plumbers in accordance with applicable mechanical codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for pressure piping. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling or installing any union. Socket weld fittings require proper fit-up and gap spacing before welding per applicable welding procedures. Do not use this fitting as a threaded union; it is designed exclusively for socket weld connections.
