Asc 362166001 Socket Weld Reducing Coupling 1x3/4 in 3000 Lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 362166001 is a forged steel socket weld reducing coupling rated for 3000 lb service. It connects a 1-inch pipe to a 3/4-inch pipe using a socket weld joint, creating a permanent, high-integrity reduction in a pressurized piping system. The forged steel construction provides the density and strength required for demanding industrial and mechanical applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting where a reliable, welded pipe reduction is specified by design or code.

This reducing coupling is suited for high-pressure piping systems in industrial, commercial, and mechanical installations. The socket weld design requires a fillet weld at the hub, making it appropriate for systems where threaded fittings are not acceptable and joint integrity under sustained pressure or vibration is a priority. Typical applications include steam, hydraulic, and process piping where a 1-inch to 3/4-inch reduction is required inline.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high-strength, high-pressure service
• 3000 lb pressure rating suitable for demanding piping systems
• Socket weld design creates a permanent, leak-resistant joint when properly welded
• Reduces from 1 inch to 3/4 inch inline without additional fittings
• Compact body typical of forged socket weld fittings minimizes installation footprint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style forged steel socket weld reducing coupling for use in 3000 lb class piping systems requiring a 1-inch to 3/4-inch inline reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or welder in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B16.11 and the applicable mechanical or process piping code. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before fitting installation. A proper gap must be maintained between the pipe end and the socket shoulder before welding to allow for thermal expansion during the weld process. Do not use this fitting in systems that exceed its rated pressure or temperature without verifying the full system specification.
