Pps 85302 3 Inch Press Coupling 304 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The PPS 85302 is a 3-inch nominal press-style pipe coupling with stop, manufactured from 304 stainless steel and designed for permanent, tool-pressed connections in demanding fluid and gas handling systems. The integrated stop positions pipe ends consistently for reliable joint formation. Rated to 200 psi and a temperature range of 0 to 284 degrees F, this fitting is built for commercial and industrial service conditions. The FKM seal provides chemical resistance suitable for a broad range of media. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using a standard press tool with the appropriate jaw set.

The 85302 is suited for systems handling additives, sludge, aeration lines, lube oil, slurry, and compressed air. The press end style eliminates open flame from the joining process, making it a practical choice in occupied buildings and sensitive environments. At 3 inches nominal, it fits into larger distribution mains, mechanical room headers, and industrial process lines where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• 3-inch nominal press-by-press end style with integral pipe stop
• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical service
• 200 psi pressure rating supports high-demand fluid and compressed air applications
• Temperature range of 0 to 284 degrees F covers most HVAC and process piping conditions
• FKM seal provides compatibility with oils, sludge, and chemical media
• No-flame press connection reduces fire risk during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting replacement for 3-inch stainless steel press piping systems using press-by-press end configurations with FKM seals. Applications listed include additives, sludge, aeration, lube oil, slurry, and compressed air systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated press tool fitted with the correct 3-inch jaw set rated for press fittings. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into existing pipe. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and cleaned to the full insertion depth before pressing. Follow applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and ASME B31 piping standards, for inspection and pressure testing after installation.
