Asc Engineered Solutions 3.NMC Pipe Coupling 3 Inch Fnpt 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 3.NMC is a straight pipe coupling rated for 150 lb service in a 3-inch nominal pipe size. It features female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) ends on both sides and is constructed from malleable iron with a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. This fitting is used to join two sections of threaded pipe in a straight run. It is a domestically manufactured fitting suited for plumbing, mechanical, fire protection, and general industrial piping systems where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified.

This coupling is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, industrial process lines, and fire sprinkler systems where 3-inch threaded pipe connections are required. The galvanized coating makes it a practical choice in environments with moderate moisture exposure. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install fittings of this type.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to proper engagement using pipe wrenches. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the fitting body.
