Asc Engineered Solutions 313822181 Ground Joint Union 2 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 313822181 is a 2-inch malleable iron ground joint union rated for 150 PSI service. It features a galvanized coating for corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately harsh piping environments. Ground joint unions use a machined metal-to-metal seat between the two pipe ends, eliminating the need for a gasket and providing a reliable, leak-resistant connection. This fitting is domestically manufactured and suited for use in gas, steam, water, and general plumbing distribution systems where a union connection is required for serviceability.

This union is used in residential and commercial piping installations where sections of pipe must be periodically disconnected for service, repair, or equipment replacement. Typical applications include boiler piping, gas appliance connections, and mechanical room distribution lines. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for damp or outdoor-adjacent installations. A licensed plumber or pipefitter installs this fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies conforming to standard NPT thread specifications.

Key Features

• Ground joint design provides a metal-to-metal seat for a gasket-free, durable seal
• Malleable iron construction offers strength and impact resistance in threaded piping systems
• Galvanized coating resists corrosion in damp or exposed environments
• 2-inch fitting size suits medium-diameter pipe runs common in commercial and residential mechanical systems
• Domestically manufactured to standard malleable iron fitting dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch threaded malleable iron pipe systems rated at 150 PSI.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to all male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten the union nut, as the ground joint seat requires only firm hand-and-wrench torque to achieve a proper seal.
