Asc Engineered Solutions C.BMC 3/8 in Pipe Coupling 150 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions C.BMC is a straight pipe coupling rated for 150 lb service in a 3/8 inch nominal pipe size. Manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish, this fitting connects two sections of threaded pipe using female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) ends on both sides. It is a standard threaded fitting used in gas distribution, steam, compressed air, and water piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this coupling wherever a straight inline threaded connection is required at moderate working pressures.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, black iron steam systems, and compressed air distribution runs where a durable, domestically produced malleable iron fitting is specified. The black finish is standard for gas piping work and complies with common jobsite requirements for uncoated black iron fittings.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to cracking under mechanical stress
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for gas, steam, and compressed air service
• FNPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size for smaller-diameter branch and supply runs
• Black finish — standard for natural gas piping applications
• Domestically produced for projects requiring domestic-sourced materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for 3/8 inch nominal threaded black iron piping systems rated at 150 lb service class.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Tighten to proper engagement using a pipe wrench — do not overtighten, as this can crack malleable iron fittings.
