This fitting is manufactured from A105 carbon steel, making it suitable for high-pressure piping systems in industrial and commercial applications. Socket weld unions allow two sections of pipe to be joined and later disconnected without cutting the line, which makes them a standard choice in process piping, steam lines, and hydraulic systems. The 1\/4 inch size fits small-bore piping runs where a reliable, pressure-rated mechanical joint is required. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers rely on this fitting type for both new installations and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis union is designed for use in small-bore, high-pressure piping systems where socket weld connections are specified. Typical applications include steam distribution, compressed air, hydraulic lines, and chemical process piping operating within the limits of ASME Class 3000 carbon steel fittings. It is commonly installed in industrial plants, refineries, power generation facilities, and commercial mechanical rooms. The FS designation indicates a full socket configuration, consistent with standard forged steel socket weld fitting practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForged A105 carbon steel construction for high-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3000-pound pressure class rating suitable for demanding piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSocket weld end connection for a strong, leak-resistant joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch nominal pipe size for small-bore applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull socket design per standard forged steel union configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation forged steel socket weld union for 1\/4 inch nominal pipe size, Class 3000 piping systems built to ASME B16.11 socket weld fitting standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical and piping codes. Before beginning work, isolate and depressurize the piping system completely and allow it to reach a safe temperature. Socket weld fittings require proper gap clearance between the pipe end and the socket shoulder before welding, per ASME B31 piping codes. Post-weld inspection and system pressure testing should be completed before returning the line to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: A105 Forged Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3000#\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket Weld\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: FIBRE-METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 69029109260\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FIBRE-METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268366532914,"sku":"69029109260","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308914003.jpg?v=1780703316","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/fibre-metal-69029109260-forged-steel-sw-union-1-4-in-3000","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
