Asc Engineered Solutions 362000606 Socket Weld Elbow

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 362000606 is a 3/8 inch, 3000 lb class socket weld 90 degree elbow manufactured from forged steel. This fitting redirects piping runs at a right angle and is designed for high-pressure piping systems where a permanent, full-penetration weld connection is required. The socket weld end prep accepts pipe into the recessed socket before welding, providing a strong, leak-resistant joint. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers install this type of fitting in industrial, mechanical, and process piping applications where pressure integrity is critical.

This fitting is suited for high-pressure steam, hydraulic, gas, and process fluid piping systems operating within the 3000 lb pressure class rating. The 3/8 inch size makes it appropriate for smaller-diameter branch lines, instrumentation connections, and utility piping. It is commonly found in commercial mechanical rooms, industrial plants, and process facilities requiring forged steel fittings that meet standard pressure-class specifications.

Key Features

• 90 degree elbow geometry for right-angle direction changes in piping runs
• Socket weld end connection for full-penetration fillet weld joints
• Forged steel construction for high-strength, pressure-rated service
• 3000 lb pressure class rating suitable for high-pressure applications
• 3/8 inch fitting size for smaller-diameter piping and instrumentation lines
• Lightweight at 0.28 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style forged steel socket weld fitting compatible with standard 3/8 inch schedule pipe in 3000 lb class piping systems per ASME B16.11 socket weld fitting standards.

Installation Notes

Socket weld fittings are installed by licensed pipefitters and must be welded in accordance with applicable welding codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 depending on service. Before installation, isolate and depressurize the piping system and allow it to cool completely. Leave the appropriate gap between pipe end and socket bottom before welding to allow for thermal expansion during the weld process. Do not apply pressure to the joint until welding and any required inspection are complete.
