Asc Engineered Solutions 362501603 Socketweld Union 1-1/2 in 3000 Lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 362501603 is a socketweld ground joint union designed for high-pressure piping systems. Manufactured from forged steel, this 1-1/2 inch union is rated to 3000 lb pressure class, making it suited for demanding industrial and commercial piping applications. The ground joint design provides a tight, leak-resistant metal-to-metal seat. Socketweld end connections allow the fitting to be welded directly into the pipeline, ensuring a permanent, structurally sound joint. Licensed pipefitters and welders typically install this type of union where future pipe disconnection may be required without cutting the line.

This union is used in high-pressure steam, gas, hydraulic, and process piping systems found in commercial mechanical rooms, industrial plants, and institutional facilities. The 3000 lb pressure class rating suits schedule 80 and heavier pipe configurations. Female threaded connection type supports standard assembly. Its forged steel construction handles elevated temperatures and pressures common in these service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a qualified, licensed pipefitter or welder. Isolate and depressurize the piping system and allow it to cool completely before beginning work. Socketweld connections must be made in accordance with applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 depending on the service. Do not apply heat or weld while any pressure or flammable media remains in the line.
