Asc Engineered Solutions 766260053 Sockolet 3000 Lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 766260053 is a Sockolet branch fitting manufactured from carbon steel and rated to 3000 pounds pressure. A Sockolet provides a socket-weld branch connection off a run pipe, allowing a smaller-diameter line to tap into a larger main. This fitting connects a 3/4-inch branch socket to a 1/2-inch outlet on a 36-inch run pipe. It is used by licensed pipefitters, industrial plumbers, and mechanical contractors working on high-pressure piping systems where a reinforced branch outlet is required.

This Sockolet is suited for industrial and commercial piping applications where socket-weld connections are specified. The 3000 lb pressure class makes it appropriate for steam, hydronic, process, and similar high-pressure service lines. It is installed where a branch takeoff must meet demanding pressure and mechanical integrity requirements.

Key Features

• 3000 lb pressure-rated carbon steel construction for high-pressure service
• Sockolet design provides a reinforced, self-contained branch outlet without separate reinforcing pads
• Socket-weld end connection for a full-penetration fillet weld joint
• Fits a 36-inch run pipe with a 3/4-inch branch socket and 1/2-inch outlet
• Lightweight at 0.28 pounds, minimizing added load on the piping system

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style branch outlet fitting for carbon steel socket-weld piping systems operating at 3000 lb pressure class service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or journeyman plumber in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting the branch opening or performing any weld work. Socket-weld joints require proper gap spacing and full-penetration fillet welds completed by a certified welder. Do not apply pressure to the system until all welds have been inspected and any required post-weld heat treatment is complete.
