Asc Engineered Solutions 766260152 Sockolet 4x1-1/4 3000lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 766260152 is a 4-inch by 1-1/4-inch carbon steel Sockolet rated for 3000 lb service. A Sockolet is a integrally reinforced branch outlet fitting that accepts a socket weld connection on the branch side, allowing a smaller-diameter pipe to tap off a larger run pipe without the need for a separate reinforcing pad. This fitting is used in high-pressure piping systems where a permanent, full-penetration branch weld is required. It is installed by licensed pipefitters and welders working on industrial, commercial, or mechanical piping assemblies.

This Sockolet is suited for high-pressure branch connections in carbon steel piping systems. The 4-inch run size and 1-1/4-inch branch outlet make it appropriate for reducing branch configurations in process piping, steam distribution, and mechanical utility systems where 3000 lb-class fittings are specified. It is commonly found in plant facilities, industrial HVAC mechanical rooms, and commercial piping rough-in work requiring socket weld outlets.

Key Features

• 3000 lb pressure-class rating for high-pressure service applications
• Carbon steel construction for strength and weldability in standard piping systems
• Integrally reinforced body eliminates the need for a separate weld reinforcement pad
• Socket weld branch connection provides a clean, flush internal bore for low-turbulence flow
• 4-inch run by 1-1/4-inch branch reducing configuration for common industrial layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 4-inch carbon steel pipe headers requiring a 1-1/4-inch socket weld branch outlet at 3000 lb pressure class.

Installation Notes

Sockolets are installed by qualified pipefitters and certified welders in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3. The main run pipe must be fully depressurized, drained, and isolated before cutting the branch opening and welding the fitting in place. Preheat and post-weld heat treatment requirements depend on pipe wall thickness and service conditions — follow the governing piping specification. Do not use this fitting in services or pressure classes beyond its rated 3000 lb designation without engineering review.
