Asc Engineered Solutions 38MX1D.WFMJ Mechanical Joint 1.5in Mnpt

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 38MX1D.WFMJ is a brass mechanical joint fitting with a 1.5-inch nominal size and a male NPT (MNPT) end style. Mechanical joint fittings create a restrained, pressure-tight connection between pipes without requiring soldering or welding, making them a reliable choice for water and fluid distribution systems. This fitting is domestically manufactured from brass, a material known for its corrosion resistance and durability in potable water and general plumbing service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and repair work on pressurized piping systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 1.5-inch nominal mechanical joint connection is required. The MNPT end style allows threaded engagement with standard female NPT ports, providing a secure, leak-resistant joint. Typical installation scenarios include branch connections, valve tie-ins, and service line transitions in water supply piping.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch nominal size for common residential and commercial pipe runs
• MNPT end style for compatibility with standard female NPT threaded connections
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water service applications
• Mechanical joint design eliminates the need for soldering or welding at the connection point
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install mechanical joint fitting for 1.5-inch nominal plumbing piping systems using standard NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before beginning work, and drain standing water from the pipe. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
