Asc Engineered Solutions 500253521 Socket Clamp 6 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 500253521 is a 6-inch black socket clamp designed for use with ductile iron pipe in light wall and standard wall configurations. Constructed from steel, this clamp provides a secure mechanical connection at socket joints, maintaining alignment and restraint under operating conditions. At 10.05 pounds, it is built for durability in demanding underground and above-ground piping installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this hardware as part of ductile iron piping systems in waterworks, municipal, and industrial applications.

This socket clamp is suited for 6-inch ductile iron pipe socket connections in residential and commercial plumbing, water distribution, and municipal infrastructure projects. It is commonly used where socket-joint restraint or support is required along ductile iron piping runs. The black finish indicates a standard coating used in corrosion-resistant piping hardware. Contractors working on water main, fire protection, and wastewater systems will find this clamp appropriate for socket-style ductile iron fittings and pipe ends.

Key Features

• Steel construction provides structural strength for ductile iron socket joint applications
• 6-inch nominal pipe size for compatibility with standard 6-inch ductile iron pipe
• Black finish for corrosion resistance in buried and exposed piping environments
• Socket clamp design maintains joint integrity at pipe socket connections
• Weighs 10.05 pounds, indicating heavy-duty construction suitable for pressurized systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 6-inch ductile iron pipe socket connections in standard piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and AWWA standards. Depressurize and isolate the piping system before installing or replacing any clamp hardware. Use appropriate hand tools and torque wrenches as specified by the project engineer or system design documents. Inspect the socket joint and pipe surface for damage or debris before seating and tightening the clamp.
