Matco-norca mn-fw3un08 Forged Steel Sw Union CL3000 2in

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-fw3un08 is a 2-inch Class 3000 forged steel socket weld union designed for high-pressure piping systems. This fitting allows piping runs to be disconnected and reconnected without cutting, making it a standard component in industrial and mechanical piping assemblies. The socket weld end connection style suits Schedule 80 and heavier pipe in systems where threaded fittings are not appropriate. At 5.3 pounds, this is a solid, full-weight forged fitting suited for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of union in steam, oil, gas, and hydraulic line applications.

This union is appropriate for 2-inch piping in high-pressure process and mechanical systems rated to Class 3000. Socket weld unions at this pressure class are common in industrial plants, commercial mechanical rooms, and anywhere a removable pipe connection is needed without compromising pressure integrity. The forged steel construction makes it suitable for elevated-temperature and high-pressure service where cast fittings would not be acceptable.

Key Features

• Class 3000 pressure rating for high-pressure service
• Forged steel construction for superior strength and pressure integrity
• Socket weld end connection compatible with standard 2-inch pipe
• Allows piping disassembly and reconnection without cutting
• Full-weight forged body at 5.3 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style forged steel socket weld union for 2-inch Class 3000 high-pressure piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters or journeyman plumbers following applicable codes such as ASME B16.11 for socket weld fittings. De-pressurize and isolate the piping system fully before disassembly or fitting installation. Socket weld connections require proper gap spacing and full fillet welds per applicable welding procedures. Do not substitute this fitting in systems exceeding its rated pressure class.
