Asc 361176308 Forged Steel Reducing Coupling 1x0.5in 3000lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 361176308 is a forged steel threaded reducing coupling rated for 3000 lb pressure service. It connects a 1-inch pipe to a 1/2-inch pipe using threaded ends, making it a standard fitting for high-pressure piping systems. Weighing 1.10 pounds, this coupling is built for demanding industrial and mechanical applications where pressure integrity and material durability are critical. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers install this fitting in systems requiring a step-down connection between two pipe sizes without welding.

This coupling is suited for use in high-pressure steam, oil, gas, and water piping systems found in commercial and industrial facilities. Its threaded design allows for straightforward field assembly and disassembly, which is useful in maintenance-intensive environments. The 3000 lb pressure rating classifies it as a Class 3000 forged fitting per standard industry specifications, appropriate for Schedule 80 and heavier pipe installations.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high strength and pressure resistance
• 3000 lb pressure rating suitable for Class 3000 high-pressure service
• Threaded ends on both sides for tool-based field assembly
• Reducing design connects 1-inch pipe to 1/2-inch pipe in a single fitting
• Compact and durable at 1.10 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 3000 threaded forged steel piping systems using 1-inch and 1/2-inch pipe connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed pipefitters or plumbers following applicable codes such as ASME B16.11 and IFGC or IPC requirements for the service type. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as forged fittings can crack if subjected to excessive torque beyond hand-tight plus wrench-turns per pipe size guidance.
