Asc Engineered Solutions 308302603 Flanged Union 8 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 308302603 is a Class 125 black cast iron flanged union designed for joining and disconnecting pipe sections in industrial and commercial piping systems. At 8 inches in size and weighing 51 pounds, this flanged union provides a secure, removable connection point that simplifies maintenance and future system modifications. The flanged end configuration allows the fitting to be bolted in line with matching flanged components, making it a standard choice for larger-diameter pipe assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this fitting where system serviceability is a priority.

This flanged union is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where an 8-inch diameter cast iron fitting is required. Common applications include water distribution mains, HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection headers, and process piping where periodic disassembly of pipe segments is expected. The Class 125 pressure rating aligns with standard cast iron flanged fittings used in low-pressure service piping. This is a domestically manufactured fitting, which supports project specifications requiring domestic material sourcing.

Key Features

• Class 125 pressure rating suitable for low-pressure piping service
• 8-inch flanged connection for large-diameter pipe assemblies
• Black cast iron construction for durability in commercial and industrial environments
• Flanged union design allows bolted, removable connections for easy system maintenance
• Domestically manufactured to support domestic-sourcing project requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 125 black cast iron flanged piping systems in commercial and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC and ASME B16.1 flanged fitting standards. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing this union. Use appropriate gasket material rated for the service fluid and pressure when assembling the flanged joint, and torque flange bolts evenly in a cross pattern following the gasket manufacturer's recommendations. Verify flange face alignment before final tightening to prevent stress on adjacent pipe sections.
