Anvil 4348000540 Threadolet 2 X 8-36

Product Description

The ANVIL 4348000540 is a threadolet pipe fitting designed for branch outlet connections on piping systems. A threadolet creates a threaded branch takeoff directly from a larger run pipe, allowing a smaller threaded line to tap into the main without welded reducers or separate fittings. This fitting carries a size code of 2X8-36 and corresponds to the supplier designation 2X8-36 3M FS THRDOLET IMP, indicating a full-size branch configuration. Threadolets of this type are used in industrial and commercial piping and are typically installed by licensed pipefitters or plumbers working to applicable code.

Threadolet fittings are common in high-pressure and industrial piping applications where a welded, self-reinforcing branch outlet is required. The branch outlet is welded onto the run pipe, and the threaded port accepts a threaded pipe end. This fitting suits installations where branch connections must be made on larger-diameter run pipe and where a threaded downstream connection is specified. Consult applicable piping codes and system drawings to confirm the correct outlet size and run pipe diameter before installation.

Key Features

• Threadolet design provides a self-reinforcing branch outlet for threaded pipe connections
• Size code 2X8-36 identifies the branch and run pipe sizing configuration
• Full-size branch outlet per supplier designation 3M FS THRDOLET IMP
• Sold as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit threadolet for industrial and commercial piping systems requiring a threaded branch outlet at the specified size code 2X8-36 configuration.

Installation Notes

Threadolets are installed by qualified pipefitters or licensed plumbers and require welding to the run pipe before the threaded branch connection is made. De-pressurize, isolate, and drain the piping system fully before cutting the branch opening or welding. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 or ASME B31.1 for process or power piping, and verify weld procedures meet system pressure and material requirements. Do not apply thread sealant or assemble the threaded branch until the weld is inspected and the system has cooled.
