Asc Engineered Solutions 8700133500 Galvanized Coupling

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700133500 is a 3/8 inch female pipe thread (FPT) by 3/8 inch FPT straight coupling manufactured from malleable galvanized iron. This fitting connects two sections of threaded pipe in a straight run, maintaining a continuous flow path with no change in direction or diameter. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to both wet and dry service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling in standard threaded piping systems where a rigid, durable union between two pipe ends is required.

This coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications where 3/8 inch NPT threaded connections are called for. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use in new construction, retrofit, and repair work involving schedule 40 threaded pipe assemblies. The malleable iron construction allows it to withstand the mechanical stresses common in building piping systems.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch FPT on both ends for straight in-line connections
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical shock
• Galvanized finish offers corrosion protection for wet and dry service environments
• Standard NPT thread form ensures compatibility with common threaded pipe and fittings
• Sold as individual units with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 3/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before cutting into any existing piping. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's recommended engagement without over-torquing malleable iron threads. Inspect the joint for leaks before returning the system to service.
