Asc Engineered Solutions 361500408 Forged Steel Union 1/4 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 361500408 is a forged steel female threaded union rated for 3000 lb pressure class service. Threaded unions allow two sections of pipe to be connected or disconnected without rotating either pipe segment, making them a standard component in high-pressure piping assemblies. At 1/4 inch in size, this fitting is suited for smaller-bore lines where a secure, serviceable connection is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers. The forged steel construction provides the strength and durability demanded in demanding pressure service environments.

This union is designed for use in high-pressure piping systems where a removable threaded connection is needed at a 1/4 inch junction. Common applications include steam, hydraulic, and process piping installations in industrial, commercial, and mechanical service settings. The 3000 lb pressure class rating makes it appropriate for systems with elevated operating pressures. It is commonly specified on compressed gas, oil, and process fluid lines where standard pipe fittings must meet rigorous pressure requirements.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high-strength, high-pressure service
• 3000 lb pressure class rating suitable for demanding piping applications
• 1/4 inch female threaded connection on both ends
• Union design allows pipe disconnection without rotating either pipe section
• Compact and lightweight at 0.38 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1/4 inch female threaded pipe systems requiring 3000 lb pressure class forged steel fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical and piping codes. De-pressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded union. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly and tighten to fitting manufacturer guidelines using a pipe wrench. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the threaded seats and compromise the union seal.
