Walrich 2801500 Style 38 Pipe Coupling 2-1/2 Inch Ips

Product Description

The WALRICH 2801500 is a Style 38 pipe coupling designed for joining IPS (Iron Pipe Size) pipe in high-temperature and moderate-pressure piping systems. Rated to 1200 degrees F and 50 psi, this coupling is built for demanding service environments where thermal resistance is critical. The 2-1/2 inch nominal size accommodates pipe with a 2.88 inch outer diameter. A red shop coat finish provides baseline corrosion protection during storage and installation. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this type of coupling for industrial, mechanical, and utility piping applications.

The 2801500 is suited for use in steam, hot gas, or high-temperature fluid piping systems where standard thermoplastic or low-rated metal fittings would fail. Its IPS end style makes it compatible with standard iron pipe size pipe, which is common in commercial and industrial mechanical rooms, boiler plants, and process piping. The red shop coat finish is standard for carbon steel fittings in these environments and is typically recoated after installation to match the system finish specification.

Key Features

• 1200 degrees F temperature rating for high-heat service environments
• 50 psi pressure rating suitable for steam and gas distribution piping
• 2-1/2 inch IPS nominal size with 2.88 inch outer diameter
• Style 38 coupling series for standard pipe joining applications
• Red shop coat finish for corrosion protection during handling and staging

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-1/2 inch IPS pipe in high-temperature industrial and commercial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or journeyman plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the IFGC or ASME B31 piping standards. Depressurize and cool the system completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this coupling. The red shop coat finish is not a final protective coating and should be field-painted or coated per project specifications after installation. Inspect pipe ends for burrs, damage, or out-of-round conditions before assembly to ensure a proper seal.
