Value Collection -12156-2 Socket Weld Coupling 3/8 in Class 3000

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -12156-2 is a 3/8 inch socket weld coupling manufactured from forged carbon steel with a black finish. This fitting is designed to join two sections of pipe in high-pressure piping systems where a permanent, full-penetration weld connection is required. Rated at Class 3000, it is built to handle demanding liquid and gas service up to 3000 psi. This coupling is a standard fitting used by licensed pipefitters and welding professionals on commercial and industrial piping installations. Each purchase includes a package of 5 couplings.

This socket weld coupling is suited for use in high-pressure industrial and commercial piping systems carrying liquids or gases. Its Class 3000 pressure rating makes it appropriate for steam, hydraulic, and process piping applications where standard threaded fittings are not acceptable. The 3/8 inch size fits standard 3/8 inch schedule pipe. Installation requires socket weld preparation and qualified welding procedures per applicable codes. This fitting ships in a package quantity of 5.

• Black finish for corrosion resistance during storage and installation
• 3/8 inch fitting size for standard 3/8 inch schedule pipe
• Sold in a package of 5 couplings per order

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard socket weld fitting for 3/8 inch Class 3000 piping systems in industrial and commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of socket weld fittings must be performed by a qualified pipefitter or welder in accordance with ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, or the applicable piping code for the system. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely and allow it to cool before beginning any fitting work. Socket weld joints require proper gap spacing between the pipe end and the socket shoulder prior to welding to allow for thermal expansion. Do not substitute socket weld fittings in systems that require removable or union-type connections.
