Asc Engineered Solutions 320200223 Black Steel Coupling 2.5in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 320200223 is a black steel taper tapped coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems. The taper tapped design creates a pressure-bearing threaded connection that draws tight as fittings are installed. At 2-1/2 inches, this coupling is suited for mid-to-large diameter pipe runs where a secure, rigid steel connection is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas distribution, industrial fluid lines, and commercial mechanical systems. The black steel construction provides strength and durability in non-corrosive service environments.

This coupling is used in residential and commercial piping applications where black steel threaded fittings are specified. Common installation scenarios include natural gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, fire sprinkler feed mains, and general mechanical piping. The 2-1/2 inch size fits standard Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 black steel pipe of matching nominal diameter. Pipefitters and plumbing contractors typically use this fitting when joining two sections of pipe in a straight run requiring a threaded coupling connection.

Key Features

• Black steel construction for strength in gas, air, and fluid piping applications
• Taper tapped threads draw tight for a pressure-bearing, leak-resistant connection
• 2-1/2 inch nominal size fits standard black steel pipe of matching diameter
• Straight coupling design for in-line pipe joining on threaded systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for use with 2-1/2 inch nominal black steel threaded pipe in mechanical, plumbing, and gas piping systems.

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 appropriate to the service. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply a listed thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to the male threads before assembly. Do not use this fitting in systems or service environments for which black steel is not approved.
