Value Collection -12156-5 Socket Weld Coupling 1 in Class 3000

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -12156-5 is a 1-inch socket weld coupling manufactured from forged carbon steel with a black finish. It is rated for Class 3000 service with a liquid and gas pressure rating of 3000 psi, making it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial piping applications. This coupling connects two pipe segments end-to-end using socket weld connections, creating a strong, leak-resistant joint. It is typically installed by licensed pipefitters, plumbers, and industrial maintenance technicians working on high-pressure steam, gas, or liquid piping systems.

This coupling is designed for use in high-pressure piping systems where a permanent, full-penetration weld connection is required. It is well-suited for industrial plant piping, process systems, and commercial mechanical rooms handling gases or liquids under elevated pressure. Each package contains 5 couplings, making it practical for contractors stocking up for larger jobs or multiple connections in a single project.

Key Features

• Forged carbon steel construction provides strength and durability under high-pressure conditions
• Black finish applied for corrosion resistance during storage and initial service
• Class 3000 rating with 3000 psi liquid and gas pressure capacity
• 1-inch nominal pipe size with socket weld end connections
• Sold in a 5-piece package, suitable for multi-connection installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 1-inch socket weld piping systems rated to Class 3000 service in industrial, commercial, or mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Socket weld fittings are installed by qualified pipefitters or welders in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3. Before installation, shut down and depressurize the piping system completely and allow it to cool if servicing a hot system. The pipe end must be fully inserted into the socket and pulled back slightly before welding to allow for thermal expansion. Do not use socket weld fittings in systems where the pipe cannot be properly welded or inspected per code requirements.
