Fibre-metal 69029109176 Sw Coupling 1/8 in 3000lb A105

Product Description

The FIBRE-METAL 69029109176 is a forged steel socket weld coupling rated for 3000-pound class service. It connects two sections of pipe using a socket weld end preparation, making it well suited for high-pressure piping systems where threaded connections are not appropriate. Manufactured from ASTM A105 carbon steel, this fitting meets standard material requirements for elevated-temperature and high-pressure service. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial pipe mechanics typically install this type of fitting in process, steam, and utility piping applications.

This coupling is sized at 1/8 inch and is intended for use in small-bore piping runs within industrial, commercial, and mechanical systems. The socket weld design allows the pipe to be inserted into the fitting socket and then fillet welded at the joint, providing a strong, leak-resistant connection. It is commonly found in steam distribution, compressed air, hydraulic, and chemical process lines where full-penetration welded joints are specified.

Key Features

• Forged ASTM A105 carbon steel construction for high-pressure and elevated-temperature service
• 3000-pound pressure class rating for demanding piping applications
• Socket weld end preparation for fillet-welded pipe connections
• 1/8 inch nominal pipe size for small-bore piping runs
• Full socket weld configuration on both ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style forged steel socket weld fitting for 1/8 inch nominal pipe in 3000-pound class piping systems fabricated to ASTM A105 material specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified pipefitter or welder in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 and local jurisdiction requirements. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before cutting into any line or removing existing fittings. The pipe end must be clean, properly sized, and inserted to the correct depth in the socket before welding. Do not use this fitting for threaded connections; it is designed exclusively for socket weld assembly.
