Matco-norca mn-fw3t04 Forged Steel Sw Tee Class 3000

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-fw3t04 is a 3/4 inch Class 3000 forged steel socket weld tee designed for high-pressure piping systems. This fitting connects three sections of pipe in a tee configuration using socket weld joints, which are fused by welding around the socket opening. The forged steel construction provides the structural integrity required in demanding industrial and commercial plumbing applications. It is installed by licensed pipefitters and plumbers working on pressurized systems where threaded fittings are not suitable.

This fitting is suited for use in high-pressure steam, hydraulic, oil, gas, and industrial process piping systems where Class 3000 fittings are specified. The 3/4 inch size is common in branch line and distribution piping. Socket weld fittings of this class are typically found in commercial and industrial facilities, refineries, and mechanical rooms requiring code-compliant, permanent, welded connections.

Key Features

• Class 3000 pressure rating for high-pressure piping service
• Forged steel construction for superior strength and durability
• 3/4 inch socket weld end connections for permanent fused joints
• Tee configuration allows branch connections in pressurized piping runs
• Compact, forged body resists mechanical stress and thermal cycling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4 inch socket weld piping systems rated at Class 3000 pressure service.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before cutting in or removing any existing fittings. Socket weld joints require proper gap spacing and certified welding per applicable ASME or local code standards. Do not use this fitting with threaded pipe without an appropriate adapter.
