Asc Engineered Solutions 500253505 Socket Clamp 4 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 500253505 is a steel socket clamp designed for use with ductile iron pipe at a 4-inch pipe size. Socket clamps in this category secure pipe joints and connections, preventing movement and maintaining alignment in pressurized piping systems. Weighing 8.10 pounds, this is a heavy-duty mechanical fastening component intended for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water distribution, fire protection, or industrial piping systems. The black finish indicates a protective coating common in corrosion-prone environments.

This socket clamp is suited for ductile iron pipe applications where a reliable mechanical restraint or support is required at socket-style joints. Typical installations include underground water mains, municipal distribution lines, and above-ground industrial piping where pipe movement or thrust must be controlled. The 4-inch size matches standard DI pipe sizing used widely across commercial and municipal infrastructure projects.

Key Features

• Steel construction provides strength and durability in demanding piping environments
• 4-inch pipe size matches standard ductile iron pipe dimensions
• Socket clamp design secures pipe at socket-style joints
• Black finish for corrosion resistance in harsh or buried installations
• Heavyweight build at 8.10 pounds suited for heavy-duty piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style socket clamp for use with 4-inch ductile iron pipe socket joints in plumbing, water distribution, and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and AWWA standards for ductile iron piping systems. Depressurize and isolate the piping segment before installing or repositioning any clamp hardware. Verify that the pipe joint socket and spigot surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the clamp. Do not overtighten fasteners beyond manufacturer torque specifications or code-required values for the pipe class being used.
