Merit Brass SW3480D-2006 Pipe Insert 304 Ss 3000 Psi

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS SW3480D-2006 is a 304 stainless steel pipe insert fitting designed for socket weld connections in high-pressure piping systems. Rated at 3,000 psi, this insert provides a reinforced transition point within a piping run, maintaining structural integrity at the joint under demanding service conditions. The fitting measures 1-1/4 x 3/8 inches and accepts socket weld connections on both ends. It is used by pipefitters and plumbers working on industrial, commercial, or mechanical systems where stainless steel construction and high-pressure ratings are required.

This fitting is suited for industrial piping applications where 304 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance and strength. Socket weld x socket weld end connections make it compatible with standard socket weld pipe assembly practices. Typical installations include process piping, mechanical rooms, and commercial plumbing systems operating at elevated pressures. The 3,000 psi pressure rating supports use in demanding service environments where carbon steel fittings may not meet material requirements.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• 3,000 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure piping systems
• Socket weld x socket weld end connections for secure, full-penetration weld joints
• 1-1/4 x 3/8 inch fitting size for reducing insert applications
• Compact form factor at 0.69 pounds for easy handling and positioning during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for socket weld piping systems requiring a 1-1/4 x 3/8 inch reducing insert in 304 stainless steel at 3,000 psi service pressure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable codes, including ASME B16.11 for socket weld fittings. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before cutting into any existing piping. Socket weld joints require proper fit-up with a small gap between the pipe end and the fitting socket shoulder before welding. Do not apply heat to fittings while the system is pressurized or carrying fluid.
