Asc 362001604 Forged Steel Socket Weld 90 Elbow 1-1/2 in 3000 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 362001604 is a forged steel socket weld 90-degree elbow rated for 3000 lb pressure class service. Built for high-pressure piping systems, this fitting allows a full 90-degree change of direction in a socket weld configuration. The forged steel construction delivers the wall integrity and mechanical strength required in demanding industrial and commercial applications. At 1-1/2 inches, it fits standard pipe in that size range and weighs 2.37 pounds. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers working on high-pressure lines will recognize this as a code-grade fitting suitable for steam, hydraulic, and process piping installations.

This elbow is used in high-pressure commercial and industrial piping systems where a reliable 90-degree directional change is needed. Typical applications include process piping, steam distribution, hydraulic lines, and mechanical room installations. The socket weld design requires the pipe end to be inserted into the fitting socket before welding, making it well suited for smaller-diameter, high-pressure runs where threaded connections are not preferred and a permanent, leak-resistant joint is the goal.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high mechanical strength and pressure integrity
• 3000 lb pressure class rating for demanding high-pressure service
• 90-degree elbow geometry for a full directional change in the pipe run
• Socket weld end type creates a permanent, high-integrity joint when properly welded
• 1-1/2 inch fitting size compatible with standard pipe in that nominal diameter

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3000 lb class socket weld fitting for use with 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe in high-pressure forged steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified pipefitter or welder familiar with socket weld procedures and applicable piping codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3. Before installation, depressurize and isolate the piping system completely. The pipe end should be inserted into the socket with a small gap maintained before welding, per standard socket weld practice. Do not use this fitting as a threaded connection — it is designed exclusively for socket weld joining.
