Asc Engineered Solutions 320201106 Taper Tap Coupling 3 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 320201106 is a 3-inch extra heavy black steel taper tap coupling designed for use in threaded pipe systems that demand a robust, durable fitting. Constructed from black steel in an extra heavy wall configuration, this coupling provides a secure, pressure-rated connection at the tap point. The tapered thread design ensures a tight, leak-resistant fit when assembled to matching threaded pipe. Plumbers and pipefitters working on industrial, commercial, or mechanical systems will find this fitting suited to applications where standard-weight fittings are not sufficient.

This taper tap coupling is used in black steel pipe assemblies typical of natural gas distribution, fire suppression, steam, and hydronic heating systems. The extra heavy designation makes it appropriate for higher-pressure or higher-load piping runs where additional wall thickness is specified by the engineer or required by code. It is installed in-line wherever a tapped branch or coupling connection is needed in a 3-inch threaded pipe system.

Key Features

• Extra heavy wall construction for demanding piping applications
• Black steel material suitable for gas, steam, and hydronic systems
• Tapered thread design provides a tight, leak-resistant assembly
• 3-inch fitting size matches standard 3-inch threaded pipe
• Weighs 4.61 pounds, consistent with extra heavy wall steel construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3-inch threaded black steel pipe systems requiring an extra heavy taper tapped coupling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC and IPC where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten; follow standard trade practice for thread engagement on tapered pipe threads.
