Asc Engineered Solutions 38M.WFC Mechanical Coupling 1-1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 38M.WFC is a mechanical coupling designed for joining pipe sections in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. Built from brass, this coupling delivers corrosion resistance and durability suited to both residential and light commercial installations. At 1-1/2 inches nominal size and 2.964 inches in length, it provides a compact, reliable connection point where rigid threading or soldering is not practical or desired. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water supply, distribution, or hydronic systems are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

The 38M.WFC is sized for 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe and is appropriate for use in water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and similar fluid-handling applications in residential and commercial construction. Its brass construction makes it compatible with copper and compatible alloy piping systems where a mechanical joint is specified. The compact 2.964 inch body length suits installations in tight spaces where clearance is limited.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance for water and hydronic fluid service
• 1-1/2 inch nominal size fits standard pipe in plumbing distribution systems
• 2.964 inch body length suits installations with limited access or clearance
• Mechanical coupling design eliminates the need for soldering or threading at the joint
• Domestic manufacture supports projects with domestic-content requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mechanical coupling for 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of mechanical couplings is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing any existing fitting or cutting into a pipe run. Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred, and within the manufacturer-specified alignment tolerance before tightening the coupling. Do not over-torque the coupling hardware, and verify joint integrity by pressure-testing the system before returning it to service.
