Value Collection -12150-2 Black Union 3/8 Inch Npt Class 3000

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -12150-2 is a 3/8 inch black union fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Manufactured from forged carbon steel with a black finish, this union carries a Class 3000 pressure rating, making it suitable for high-pressure liquid and gas service up to 3000 psi. The NPT end connections allow it to thread directly onto standard pipe without additional adapters. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and industrial piping runs where a removable, pressure-rated connection point is required.

This union is used in applications where sections of threaded pipe must be disconnected for service or replacement without disturbing the surrounding piping. The Class 3000 pressure rating makes it appropriate for steam, water, oil, and gas lines operating at elevated pressures. It is a common component in mechanical rooms, process piping, and industrial service environments. The 3/8 inch size fits smaller-diameter branch lines and instrument connections. This item is sold as a package of 3 units per order.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including the IPC and IFGC where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly, and hand-tighten before using a pipe wrench to achieve a proper seal. Do not over-torque, as this can damage the fitting seat or threads.
