Asc 8700163507 Malleable Iron Galvanized Union 1 in Fpt

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700163507 is a Class 150 malleable iron galvanized union with 1-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ends. Unions allow piping systems to be disconnected and reconnected without cutting pipe, making them a standard fitting in mechanical and plumbing rough-in work. This fitting is constructed from malleable iron with a galvanized finish, providing corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately wet service environments. It conforms to Federal Specification WW-U-531C and dimensional standard ANSI B-16.39 for malleable iron unions, and meets ANSI B-16.14 for dimensions and ANSI B-2.1 for pipe threads. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in threaded iron pipe systems where future serviceability is required.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and general industrial piping where Class 150 threaded iron pipe is specified. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for water supply, gas distribution (where locally permitted and code-compliant), and other fluid-handling systems. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings of the same size class.

Key Features

• Sold as individual unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for Class 150 malleable iron pipe systems using 1-inch NPT connections in residential and commercial plumbing or mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before disassembly or installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight per standard practice for threaded iron fittings. Verify local code requirements, including applicable IPC or IFGC provisions, before using in gas or potable water service.
