Asc Engineered Solutions 500253547 Socket Clamp 10 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 500253547 is a 10-inch steel socket clamp designed for use with ductile iron pipe systems. Socket clamps secure pipe joints and fittings by gripping the socket end of the pipe, maintaining alignment and providing mechanical restraint at the connection point. This clamp ships in a black finish and weighs 13.66 pounds, indicating a heavy-duty, full-body steel construction suited for demanding piping installations. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water distribution, fire protection, and industrial piping systems where ductile iron pipe is specified.

This socket clamp is intended for use on 10-inch ductile iron pipe in both municipal and commercial mechanical systems. Typical applications include water main connections, fire suppression piping, and industrial process lines where a secure socket-end clamp is required. The steel construction and substantial weight make this part appropriate for below-grade and above-grade installations where durability and corrosion resistance are priorities. Plumbers and pipe mechanics working to AWWA or ASME piping standards will find this clamp suitable for standard socket-joint assemblies on ductile iron systems.

Key Features

• 10-inch nominal size for ductile iron pipe socket joints
• Steel construction provides strength and durability in demanding piping environments
• Black finish for corrosion resistance and professional appearance
• Heavy-duty design at 13.66 pounds supports mechanical restraint requirements
• Socket clamp style maintains alignment at pipe joint connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement socket clamp for 10-inch ductile iron pipe socket-end connections in commercial and municipal piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local mechanical codes and AWWA standards for ductile iron pipe assembly. Depressurize and isolate the pipe section before beginning any clamp installation or joint work. Verify pipe end condition and socket seating before torquing the clamp hardware. Do not reuse damaged or deformed clamp components.
