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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating suitable for low-pressure piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-inch flanged connection for large-diameter pipe assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack cast iron construction for durability in commercial and industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlanged union design allows bolted, removable connections for easy system maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured to support domestic-sourcing project requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 125 black cast iron flanged piping systems in commercial and industrial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flanged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 51 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 308302603\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233453179186,"sku":"0308302603","price":390.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307630368.jpg?v=1780100420","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-308302603-flanged-union-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
