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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround joint design provides a metal-to-metal seat for a gasket-free, durable seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction offers strength and impact resistance in threaded piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized coating resists corrosion in damp or exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch fitting size suits medium-diameter pipe runs common in commercial and residential mechanical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured to standard malleable iron fitting dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch threaded malleable iron pipe systems rated at 150 PSI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ground Joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.56 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic\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: 313822181\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233958691122,"sku":"0313822181","price":70.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307630623.jpg?v=1780113170","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-313822181-ground-joint-union-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
