Value Collection 13318 Black Malleable Iron Coupling 3in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13318 is a 3-inch black malleable iron threaded coupling designed for joining pipe sections in piping systems carrying liquid or gas. Built to Class 150 standards with a pressure rating of 300 psi, this coupling features a black finish and threaded end connections on both sides. It is suitable for plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping installations where a reliable, code-compliant fitting is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This coupling is used in residential and commercial piping applications involving water, gas, and other compatible media. The threaded configuration allows it to connect to standard pipe threads without welding or special tooling. It is well suited for retrofits, repairs, and new construction where malleable iron fittings are specified. The black finish is standard for gas line applications in many jurisdictions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape to threaded connections before engagement. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
