Asc 361167604 Forged Steel Threaded Half Coupling 3/8 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 361167604 is a forged steel threaded half coupling designed for high-pressure pipe connections in industrial and commercial piping systems. Rated at 3000 lb, this fitting accepts a 3/8 inch threaded pipe end and provides a secure, leak-resistant connection point on vessels, headers, or pipe runs. The forged steel construction delivers the wall integrity and tensile strength required for demanding service conditions. At 0.06 pounds, it is compact and lightweight while maintaining the pressure rating trades expect from a Class 3000 forged fitting. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers use half couplings where a full coupling is not practical or where a branch outlet is being added to a pipe or vessel.

This half coupling is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial piping applications where a threaded branch connection or end connection is needed at 3/8 inch pipe size. Common installation scenarios include steam, hydraulic, gas, and water distribution lines operating within the 3000 lb pressure class. The threaded end accepts NPT pipe threads, making it compatible with standard threaded pipe and fittings used throughout industrial process and mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high-integrity pressure service
• 3000 lb pressure rating suitable for demanding piping applications
• 3/8 inch fitting size for standard small-diameter pipe connections
• Threaded half coupling style for branch or end connections without a full coupling
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style forged steel threaded fitting for use in Class 3000 piping systems requiring 3/8 inch half coupling connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical and piping codes. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before makeup. Do not over-torque the fitting, as forged steel couplings can crack if driven past proper thread engagement.
