A half coupling provides a single-end branch connection, allowing a pipe to be welded into a larger fitting, vessel, or header without a full coupling run. With a 3,000 psi pressure rating and 316 grade stainless construction, this fitting is suited for demanding fluid and process piping applications where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical. Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or pipe welder working to applicable codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping systems handling water, steam, chemicals, or other media requiring stainless steel wetted surfaces. The socket weld end connection on both ends allows secure, fillet-welded joints in high-pressure lines. Typical install scenarios include process piping, instrumentation taps, and branch connections on headers in facilities maintenance, chemical processing, and marine or food-service environments where 316 stainless is specified for chloride or corrosion resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to corrosion, chlorides, and oxidation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3,000 psi pressure rating for high-pressure piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSocket weld end connection on both ends for fillet-welded installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch fitting size for standard pipe branch connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHalf coupling design for single-end branch or tap applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3\/8 inch socket weld piping systems requiring 316 stainless steel half coupling connections rated to 3,000 psi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or welder in accordance with applicable piping codes such as ASME B16.11 and applicable facility or mechanical codes. Depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting in or modifying any branch connection. Socket weld fittings require proper socket depth engagement and a fillet weld per applicable weld procedure specifications. Do not apply thread sealants or pipe dope to socket weld connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Half Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket Weld x Socket Weld\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3,000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SW3611HD-06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538947440946,"sku":"SW3611HD-06","price":21.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e0c93f531e1838c79b501b27171aff4c_6372f93e-e6f9-4882-9782-e46e0907d6e0.jpg?v=1785830519","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-sw3611hd-06-pipe-half-coupling-316-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
