Asc 361500804 Forged Steel Union 1/2 Inch 3000 Lb Female Thread

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 361500804 is a forged steel threaded union designed for high-pressure piping systems in industrial and commercial applications. Rated at 3000 lb pressure class, this 1/2 inch female threaded union provides a secure, leak-resistant connection between pipe sections while allowing for easy disassembly during maintenance or system modification. Constructed from forged steel, it delivers the structural integrity required in demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in process piping, steam lines, and compressed fluid systems where a reliable, removable pipe joint is needed.

This union is suited for 1/2 inch threaded pipe installations in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. It is commonly used in steam distribution, hydraulic lines, compressed air systems, and general-purpose piping where the ability to break a joint without cutting pipe is operationally important. The female threaded ends accept standard NPT pipe threads, making it compatible with a wide range of piping configurations encountered in routine plumbing and mechanical work.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 1/2 inch NPT threaded piping systems rated to 3000 lb pressure class in commercial and industrial mechanical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and ASME B31 piping code requirements. Isolate and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any union fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten to a firm, leak-free engagement without over-torquing the forged body. Pressure-test the system after installation to confirm joint integrity before returning to service.
