Rated at 150 lb, this coupling features female NPT (FNPT) ends on both sides and is machined from domestic malleable iron with a black finish. It accommodates a 3-inch nominal pipe size, making it a common choice for larger-diameter runs in commercial and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this fitting as part of threaded black iron assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where threaded black iron pipe is specified, including natural gas distribution lines, steam systems, and general industrial fluid transport. The 3-inch nominal size is frequently encountered in main trunk lines, boiler supply and return runs, and larger-capacity gas headers. Domestic manufacture supports projects requiring U.S.-made components for compliance with project specifications or procurement requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch nominal pipe size fits standard Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 threaded pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFNPT ends on both sides for straightforward threaded assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 lb pressure rating suitable for standard-service gas and fluid piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish standard for gas-line and industrial piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured for projects with U.S.-origin material requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded fitting compatible with standard 3-inch nominal black iron pipe systems using NPT threading per ANSI\/ASME B1.20.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of black iron threaded fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as required by jurisdiction. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Inspect threads on both the fitting and the pipe for damage before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT (Female National Pipe Thread) both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic (USA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.BMC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525425135922,"sku":"BLCOUP3","price":78.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f1f36da9fc88cae24db9f9365e86e4e3_dddb4ea1-0505-44e3-83ce-3bf40bead22b.jpg?v=1785473436","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-3-bmc-pipe-coupling-3in-fnpt-150lb","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
