Asc Engineered Solutions 361155609 Full Coupling 1/2 in 3000 Lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 361155609 is a forged steel threaded full coupling rated for 3000 lb service. It provides a straight, inline connection between two threaded pipe ends in high-pressure piping systems. The 1/2 inch fitting size suits small-bore runs where maintaining pressure integrity is critical. Forged steel construction delivers the wall thickness and tensile strength required for demanding industrial, mechanical, and process piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting type during new construction and retrofit work on pressurized systems.

This coupling is used in residential and commercial mechanical rooms, industrial process lines, and utility piping where a full-engagement threaded connection is needed on 1/2 inch pipe. The 3000 lb pressure rating makes it appropriate for high-pressure steam, hot water, hydraulic, and gas distribution systems where standard 150 lb or 300 lb malleable iron fittings are insufficient. It is a common component in boiler rooms, compressor stations, and similar high-demand environments.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction provides superior strength compared to cast fittings in high-pressure service
• 3000 lb pressure rating suits demanding steam, gas, and hydraulic piping applications
• Full coupling design joins two male-threaded pipe ends with full thread engagement on both sides
• 1/2 inch fitting size fits standard NPT small-bore pipe runs
• Lightweight at 0.28 pounds, simplifying handling and installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch threaded pipe systems rated to 3000 lb service class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B16.11 and the International Mechanical Code. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before make-up; do not over-torque, as forged steel fittings can damage mating threads if excessive force is used. Inspect threads for damage before installation.
