Asc Engineered Solutions 320200025 Steel Coupling 3/8 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 320200025 is a straight taper-tapped coupling machined from black steel, used to join two sections of threaded pipe in a straight run. The fitting accepts 3/8-inch pipe and features taper-tapped threads on both ends for a secure, pressure-resistant connection. At 0.09 pounds, it is a compact, heavy-duty fitting suited for gas, air, and general-purpose piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of coupling as a standard component in low- and medium-pressure pipe assemblies.

This coupling is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping installations where a straight, inline pipe connection is required. Common applications include natural gas branch lines, compressed air distribution, and general black iron piping systems. The taper-tapped thread form ensures a tight mechanical fit when assembled with compatible threaded pipe ends and an appropriate pipe thread sealant or tape.

Key Features

• Black steel construction for durability in gas and general-purpose piping
• 3/8-inch fitting size for standard pipe connections
• Taper-tapped threads on both ends for a secure, leak-resistant fit
• Straight coupling design for inline pipe joining with no directional change
• Lightweight at 0.09 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/8-inch black steel threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as relevant to the service. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before cutting in or replacing any fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting, as black steel threads can be damaged by excessive force.
