Merit Brass SW3480D-2406 Pipe Insert 304 Ss Socket Weld

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS SW3480D-2406 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 measures 1-1/2 x 3/8 inches and is built to handle demanding industrial and commercial applications where pressure integrity and corrosion resistance are critical. The socket weld x socket weld end connection allows for a clean, leak-resistant joint when welded in place by a qualified pipefitter or pipe welder. The 304 stainless steel construction provides solid resistance to oxidation and general corrosion in a wide range of process environments.

This fitting is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping systems where socket weld fittings are specified by design or code. Typical installations include process piping, mechanical rooms, and utility systems requiring rated pressure performance. The 1-1/2 x 3/8 inch size addresses reducing configurations in branch or inline arrangements. It is commonly installed by licensed pipefitters and plumbers working on industrial process lines, HVAC piping systems, and similar high-pressure fluid conveyance applications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation socket weld pipe insert fitting for 3,000 psi rated stainless steel piping systems using socket weld end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B16.11 and ANSI piping standards. Isolate and depressurize the system fully before cutting into any existing line. Socket weld fittings require proper gap spacing before welding per applicable weld procedure specifications. Do not use this fitting in systems exceeding its rated pressure without engineering review.
