Asc Engineered Solutions 361500606 Threaded Union 3/8 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 361500606 is a forged steel female threaded union designed for high-pressure piping systems. Rated at 3000 lb pressure class, this fitting accepts 3/8 inch female threaded connections and provides a secure, leak-resistant joint in demanding service environments. At 0.54 pounds, it is a compact fitting suited for tight installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of union where a line must be periodically disconnected and reconnected without cutting pipe, making it a standard component in mechanical rooms, process piping, and utility service lines.

This union is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping systems where 3000 lb class fittings are specified. Common applications include steam lines, hydraulic systems, compressed air, and high-pressure water or gas distribution. The female threaded end configuration makes it compatible with standard male NPT pipe threads at the 3/8 inch size. It is typically selected when system pressure ratings or applicable codes require heavy-duty forged construction over cast alternatives.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction rated for 3000 lb pressure class service
• 3/8 inch female threaded end connections for standard NPT compatibility
• Union design allows pipe disconnection and reconnection without cutting
• Compact form factor at 0.54 pounds for space-limited installations
• Suitable for steam, compressed air, hydraulic, and high-pressure fluid systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 3/8 inch 3000 lb class female threaded union applications in high-pressure piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the IPC or ASME B31.1. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any threaded union. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug fit using a pipe wrench without over-torquing the union nut. Inspect the union seat and nut for damage before reinstalling in high-pressure service.
