Asc Engineered Solutions 812507408 Malleable Iron Union 1/8 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 812507408 is a black malleable iron union fitting sized at 1/8 inch. Unions allow piping runs to be disconnected and reconnected without cutting or threading new pipe, making them essential in gas, air, and low-pressure fluid systems. This fitting features a black oxide coating typical of malleable iron pipe fittings used in gas distribution and compressed air applications. At 0.15 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for tight installations. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians routinely install this type of union in residential and light commercial systems.

This 1/8 inch union is intended for use in threaded pipe systems where a break-apart connection point is required. Common applications include gas supply lines, compressed air headers, steam systems at appropriate pressure ratings, and plumbing rough-in where future serviceability is a design requirement. The 1/8 inch size is frequently found in pilot lines, instrument connections, and branch takeoffs from larger mains.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability in threaded pipe assemblies
• Black oxide coating suitable for gas and air service
• 1/8 inch fitting size for small-diameter threaded pipe connections
• Union design allows disconnection without disturbing the rest of the piping run
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in gas, air, and low-pressure fluid applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any union fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for the service medium — PTFE tape or pipe dope approved for gas service when used on gas lines. Do not overtighten; hand-snug plus wrench turns to a proper seal is the standard practice for malleable iron fittings.
