Asc Engineered Solutions 766259188 Weldolet 8x6 Carbon Steel

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 766259188 is an 8 inch x 6 inch weldolet fitting manufactured from carbon steel at standard wall weight. A weldolet is a branch connection fitting used in piping systems to create a 90-degree outlet from a run pipe without the need for a reinforcing pad. The 8 inch dimension refers to the run pipe size and the 6 inch dimension refers to the branch outlet size. Connection is made by full-penetration butt weld on both the run pipe and the branch outlet, making this fitting appropriate for high-pressure and high-temperature piping applications. It weighs 9.98 pounds per each.

This weldolet is used in industrial and commercial piping systems where a branch outlet must be taken off a main run pipe. Typical applications include process piping, oil and gas distribution, steam lines, and mechanical room header systems. The carbon steel construction makes it suitable for use with steam, hydrocarbons, compressed air, and other compatible media. Standard weight wall classification aligns this fitting with schedule 40 equivalent run pipe applications. Installation is performed by certified pipe welders in new construction and retrofit piping projects.

Key Features

• Run pipe size of 8 inches with a 6 inch branch outlet for large-bore branch connections
• Carbon steel construction provides strength and durability in demanding piping applications
• Standard weight classification for use with standard wall run pipe
• Full-penetration butt weld connection on both ends for leak-tight, high-integrity joints
• Eliminates the need for a reinforcing pad compared to other branch connection methods

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style branch connection fitting for standard weight carbon steel piping systems requiring an 8 inch run by 6 inch branch weldolet outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified pipe welder or licensed pipefitter. Depressurize, isolate, and drain the piping system completely before cutting the branch opening or beginning any weld work. Proper contour saddle cuts and fit-up are required before welding to ensure full-penetration joint integrity. Weld procedures should comply with applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 depending on the service classification of the system.
