Asc Engineered Solutions 8700158101 Black Iron Coupling 3/4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700158101 is a 3/4-inch malleable black iron standard merchant coupling designed for straight pipe-to-pipe connections in low-pressure piping systems. Manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish, this coupling provides a reliable mechanical connection where high-pressure ratings are not required. It is a standard fitting used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on water, oil, air, and gas distribution lines in both residential and light commercial applications.

Merchant couplings are a common choice in low-pressure piping installations where a simple, no-shoulder coupling is needed to join two lengths of straight pipe. This fitting is well suited for compressed air systems, oil transfer lines, water supply runs, and gas piping where code and pressure requirements permit merchant-style fittings. The 3/4-inch size fits standard threaded pipe of that nominal diameter.

Key Features

• Malleable black iron construction provides durability in low-pressure service environments
• Standard merchant coupling profile connects straight pipe to straight pipe without a center stop shoulder
• Suitable for water, oil, air, and gas piping applications
• 3/4-inch nominal size with standard threaded ends
• Lightweight at 0.251 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 3/4-inch nominal threaded black iron pipe systems in low-pressure water, oil, air, and gas piping configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the service medium. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape to the male threads before making up the connection. Do not use merchant couplings in applications exceeding the pressure rating permitted by the governing code for this fitting class.
