Asc Engineered Solutions 500253554 Socket Clamp 12 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 500253554 is a 12-inch steel socket clamp designed for use with ductile iron pipe in pressurized piping systems. This heavy-duty clamp provides a secure mechanical connection at socket joints, helping maintain joint integrity under operational load and vibration. At 15.66 pounds, the 500253554 is built for demanding industrial and commercial plumbing applications. The black finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for typical service environments. Plumbers and pipefitters working on ductile iron distribution systems rely on this style of socket clamp to secure and support pipe connections at fittings and joints.

This socket clamp is suited for 12-inch ductile iron pipe in water distribution, industrial process piping, and municipal infrastructure applications. It is typically installed at socket-style pipe joints to provide mechanical restraint and support. The clamp is appropriate for both new construction and repair or retrofit work on existing ductile iron piping systems where a secure socket joint connection is required.

Key Features

• 12-inch size matches standard ductile iron pipe dimensions
• Steel construction provides strength and durability under load
• Socket clamp design secures pipe at socket-style joints
• Black finish for corrosion resistance in standard service environments
• Weighs 15.66 pounds, indicating substantial heavy-duty construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mechanical socket clamp for 12-inch ductile iron pipe and fittings in pressurized piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with ductile iron piping systems and applicable codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and isolate the pipe section before installing or servicing any clamp hardware. Use appropriately rated fasteners and torque hardware evenly to manufacturer specifications for the joint type. Inspect the socket joint surface for damage or debris before seating the clamp.
