Value Collection B342 65 Pipe Union 2.5 in Class 150 Threaded

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B342 65 is a Class 150 malleable iron black pipe union rated at 150 psi, designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. At 2.5 inches in size, it provides a reliable, field-serviceable connection that allows sections of pipe to be joined or disconnected without rotating the pipe itself. The malleable iron construction offers strength and impact resistance suited for above-ground and non-corrosive service environments. Weighing 5.18 pounds, this union is built to handle the mechanical demands of commercial and industrial installations. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on black iron gas or water distribution systems.

This union is appropriate for residential and commercial gas piping, heating system supply lines, and general-purpose black iron pipe runs where a union fitting is required for future serviceability. The threaded end connection conforms to multiple internationally recognized threading and dimensional standards, making it suitable for installations that must meet strict code compliance. It is well suited for boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility piping applications where standard Class 150 malleable iron fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections per code requirements. Do not overtighten the union nut, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive force.
