Asc Engineered Solutions 8700163606 Galvanized Union

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700163606 is a 1-1/2 inch FPT malleable iron galvanized union rated for Class 150 service. It connects two sections of threaded pipe and allows disassembly without rotating either pipe run, making it a standard fitting in gas, water, and mechanical piping systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for above-ground and exposed installations. This fitting is designed for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential or light commercial piping systems.

This union is suited for threaded iron pipe installations in residential and commercial mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility piping systems. The 1-1/2 inch FPT connection on both ends mates with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings. It is commonly installed where future service access to a piping run is required, allowing a section to be broken and reconnected without cutting pipe.

• Malleable iron construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• 1-1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) on both ends for standard NPT connections
• Class 150 pressure rating per ANSI B-16.39
• Allows pipe disassembly without rotating adjacent pipe sections
• Meets Federal Specification WW-U-531C and ANSI B-16.39 for malleable iron unions
• Dimensions conform to ANSI B-16.14; threads conform to ANSI B-2.1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded iron pipe systems in Class 150 service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; tighten to make a leak-free seal and confirm with a pressure test before returning the system to service.
