Asc Engineered Solutions 362000804 Socket Weld 90 Elbow 1/2 in 3000lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 362000804 is a forged steel socket weld 90-degree elbow designed for high-pressure piping systems. It is rated at 3000 lb pressure class and sized for 1/2-inch pipe. This fitting changes flow direction by 90 degrees in socket weld configurations and is installed by licensed pipefitters and plumbers in industrial, mechanical, and commercial piping systems where high-integrity, leak-resistant connections are required.

This elbow is suited for use in high-pressure steam, hydraulic, compressed air, oil, and gas piping systems. Socket weld fittings at the 3000 lb pressure class are commonly found in industrial plants, refineries, mechanical rooms, and commercial construction where small-bore, high-pressure piping is specified. The 1/2-inch size is typical for instrument lines, bypass circuits, and utility piping.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for direction changes in tight spaces
• Forged steel construction for high strength and pressure integrity
• 3000 lb pressure class rated for demanding service conditions
• Socket weld end connection for full-penetration fillet-welded joints
• 1/2-inch fitting size suits small-bore high-pressure piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch socket weld piping systems rated to 3000 lb pressure class per ASME B16.11 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a qualified pipefitter or welder following applicable ASME and facility welding procedures. The fitting should be properly gapped per ASME B16.11 socket weld requirements before fillet welding to prevent joint stress. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before cutting in or replacing any fitting. Weld inspection and post-weld procedures should follow the governing piping specification for the service involved.
