Asc Engineered Solutions 766260194 Sockolet 3000 Lb 6x1.5 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 766260194 is a 3000 lb class carbon steel sockolet designed for socket weld branch connections in high-pressure piping systems. The fitting transitions a 6-inch run pipe to a 1-1/2-inch branch outlet using a socket weld end that accepts schedule pipe directly into the socket bore. At a pressure rating of 3000 lb, this sockolet is built for demanding service conditions common in industrial and commercial mechanical systems. Licensed pipefitters and industrial plumbers install this type of fitting when a reinforced branch outlet is required without a full tee configuration.

This sockolet is suited for branch outlet applications on carbon steel piping systems in industrial facilities, commercial mechanical rooms, and process piping installations. The 6-inch by 1-1/2-inch size combination is a common reduction used when tapping a large header for a smaller instrument, drain, vent, or auxiliary service line. Installation requires socket weld procedure per applicable code and is not suited for threaded or flanged systems.

Key Features

• 3000 lb pressure rating for high-pressure piping service
• Carbon steel construction for durability in industrial environments
• Socket weld end provides full-penetration weld joint at branch connection
• 6-inch run pipe by 1-1/2-inch branch outlet reduces large headers to smaller service lines
• Eliminates the need for a full tee fitting when a single branch connection is required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style branch outlet fitting for 6-inch carbon steel piping systems requiring a 1-1/2-inch socket weld branch at 3000 lb pressure class.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified pipefitter or industrial plumber following applicable welding and piping codes, including ASME B31.3 for process piping or B31.1 for power piping as applicable. De-energize and depressurize the piping system fully before cutting into an existing line. Socket weld fittings require a small gap inside the socket bore prior to welding to allow for thermal expansion during the weld pass. Do not substitute socket weld fittings in systems that require butt weld or threaded connections per engineering specifications.
