Value Collection 13396 Black Iron Union 2 in Threaded 300 Psi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13396 is a 2-inch black malleable iron union with threaded end connections, rated at Class 150 and 300 psi for liquid and gas service. The black finish is a standard mill-applied iron oxide coating used in gas distribution and industrial piping systems. Unions allow a section of pipe to be disconnected without rotating the pipe itself, making them a preferred fitting type in service-accessible lines. This fitting is a staple for plumbing and mechanical contractors working on gas supply lines, steam systems, and general-purpose industrial piping applications.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial black iron gas piping systems as well as industrial fluid and steam distribution lines where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified. The threaded end connections conform to standard NPT engagement, allowing compatibility with the broader ecosystem of Class 150 threaded iron piping components. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas-line contractors in applications requiring periodic disconnection for service or equipment swap-out.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified gas technician in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code or applicable local mechanical codes. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all threaded connections before makeup. Do not over-tighten; follow standard NPT hand-tight-plus-turns practice and verify the union seat seals correctly before returning the line to service.
