Merit Brass SW3480D-2404 Pipe Insert 304 Ss 3000 Psi

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS SW3480D-2404 is a 304 stainless steel socket weld pipe insert fitting rated for 3,000 psi service. This insert is designed to reinforce the end of tubing or pipe at a socket weld joint, maintaining bore integrity and preventing collapse under pressure or mechanical stress. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments. The fitting measures 1-1/2 x 1/4 inches and connects via socket weld on both ends. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component in high-pressure piping assemblies.

This fitting is suited for high-pressure industrial and commercial piping systems where tubing or pipe ends require internal support at welded connections. Common applications include process piping, hydraulic lines, and fluid transfer systems operating at elevated pressures. The socket weld end connection style makes it appropriate for permanent, high-integrity joints in systems where leakage is not acceptable. It is sold individually, making it practical for repair and maintenance work as well as new construction.

Key Features

• Pressure rating of 3,000 psi for demanding high-pressure service
• 304 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Socket weld x socket weld end connections for permanent, high-integrity joints
• 1-1/2 x 1/4 inch fitting size for precise bore support at the joint
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation insert fitting for high-pressure socket weld piping systems requiring 304 stainless steel construction at a 1-1/2 x 1/4 inch fitting size.

Installation Notes

Installation of socket weld fittings must be performed by a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before beginning any fitting work. Socket weld joints require proper fit-up and certified welding procedures to achieve the rated pressure performance. Do not substitute this fitting in applications exceeding its rated pressure without engineering review.
