Asc Engineered Solutions 766260111 Sockolet 3 X 1 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 766260111 is a 3-inch by 1-inch Sockolet rated at 3000 pounds pressure class, manufactured from carbon steel. A Sockolet is a branch outlet fitting that creates a socket-weld branch connection off a run pipe, allowing a smaller-diameter pipe to tie into a larger main line. This fitting is designed for high-pressure piping systems where a reliable, full-penetration socket-weld branch is required. Licensed pipefitters and pipe welders install this type of fitting in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping applications.

This Sockolet is suited for use in high-pressure carbon steel piping systems, including steam, process, and industrial fluid lines. The 3-inch run by 1-inch branch configuration accommodates common reducing branch takeoffs from a 3-inch main. The 3000-pound pressure class makes it appropriate for demanding service conditions where standard fittings are not sufficient.

Key Features

• 3000 lb pressure class for high-pressure service
• Carbon steel construction for durability in industrial environments
• 3-inch run by 1-inch branch socket-weld outlet configuration
• Sockolet design provides a reinforced, integrally reinforced branch connection
• Weighs 0.78 pounds per each unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3-inch carbon steel pipe headers requiring a 1-inch socket-weld branch outlet in 3000 lb class piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or certified pipe welder in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3. De-pressurize and drain the piping system completely before cutting into the run pipe or positioning the Sockolet. Socket-weld connections require a proper weld gap and full fillet weld per applicable welding procedures. Post-weld heat treatment or inspection requirements should be verified against the system specification and applicable code.
