Asc Engineered Solutions 320200157 Steel Coupling 1 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 320200157 is a 1-inch taper tapped black steel coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in commercial and residential piping systems. This fitting accepts tapered threads on both ends, allowing for a secure, pressure-resistant joint when assembling black steel pipe runs. At 0.43 pounds, it is a compact, durable fitting suited for gas distribution, mechanical, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this type of fitting in new construction and retrofit work.

This coupling is used in black steel pipe assemblies where a taper-threaded connection is required. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and steam or hydronic heating systems. The black steel construction makes it well suited for above-ground dry or gas-service piping where corrosion from moisture is not a primary concern. Contractors working on light commercial or residential mechanical systems will find this a standard fit for their pipe fabrication needs.

Key Features

• Taper tapped thread profile provides a tight, leak-resistant seal with compatible pipe
• Black steel construction offers strength and durability in gas and mechanical piping applications
• 1-inch fitting size fits standard 1-inch black steel pipe
• Compact form factor at 0.43 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1-inch black steel threaded pipe systems typical in gas, mechanical, and industrial piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where relevant. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all tapered threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
