Asc Engineered Solutions 320200173 Black Steel Coupling 1.5in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 320200173 is a taper tapped black steel coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in gas, air, and industrial fluid distribution systems. Sized at 1-1/2 inches, this coupling features a tapered thread form that creates a tight, pressure-resistant joint when properly assembled. Constructed from black steel, it delivers the durability required for above-ground gas piping, compressed air lines, and general mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on commercial and residential systems routinely specify black steel fittings like this one for their strength and compatibility with standard NPT-threaded pipe.

This coupling is suited for use in residential and light commercial gas distribution piping, compressed air systems, and industrial fluid lines where a reliable threaded union is required. The taper tapped design allows pipe threads to engage progressively along the fitting bore, helping to seal the connection as the joint is tightened. It is a common replacement or new-installation fitting wherever 1-1/2 inch black steel pipe is used.

Key Features

• Taper tapped thread form provides a self-sealing, pressure-resistant joint
• 1-1/2 inch fitting size for standard black steel pipe
• Black steel construction suited for gas, air, and industrial fluid service
• Compact and lightweight at 0.73 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch black steel threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the line before threading or removing any fittings. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the connection, as black steel fittings can crack under excessive force.
