Merit Brass SW3480D-1202 Pipe Insert 3/4x1/8 SS304 3000psi

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS SW3480D-1202 is a stainless steel pipe insert fitting designed for use in high-pressure socket weld piping systems. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this insert measures 3/4 x 1/8 inches and carries a pressure rating of 3,000 psi. It connects via socket weld on both ends, making it suitable for permanent, leak-resistant installations where mechanical strength and corrosion resistance are required. Plumbers and pipefitters working on industrial or commercial process piping typically install this type of fitting where a size transition or reinforcement point is needed within the line.

This fitting is appropriate for use in process piping, fluid transfer systems, and mechanical installations that demand reliable, high-pressure socket weld connections. The 304 stainless steel construction holds up well in corrosive or wet environments, making it a practical choice for both commercial and light industrial applications. Its compact 3/4 x 1/8 inch sizing fits within standard socket weld pipe configurations where a reduced-port insert connection is specified.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical environments
• 3,000 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure piping systems
• Socket weld x socket weld end connections for permanent, strong joints
• 3/4 x 1/8 inch fitting size for reduced-port insert applications
• Compact form factor compatible with standard socket weld configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation insert fitting for standard socket weld pipe systems requiring a 3/4 x 1/8 inch connection in 304 stainless steel at 3,000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B16.11 for socket weld fittings. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Socket weld connections require proper fit-up and qualified welding procedures — do not attempt to thread or compression-fit a socket weld component. Follow all applicable local and national piping codes for the intended service fluid and pressure class.
