Whirlpool 69029109265 Union Fitting 1-1/4 in Sw 3000lb A105

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 69029109265 is a 1-1/4 inch Class 3000 socket weld union fitting manufactured to ASTM A105 carbon steel specifications. This forged steel union is designed to connect two sections of pipe in a high-pressure piping system while allowing for easy disconnection without cutting the line. The socket weld configuration provides a strong, leak-resistant joint suited for high-pressure and high-temperature service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in industrial and commercial piping systems where reliable, pressure-rated connections are required.

This union fitting is intended for use in Class 3000 forged steel socket weld piping systems handling steam, gas, oil, or water service in industrial, commercial, and mechanical room applications. The 1-1/4 inch nominal size makes it appropriate for mid-range branch and main line installations. It is commonly found in boiler rooms, process piping, and HVAC mechanical systems where pipe unions are required for serviceability of valves, equipment, and instrumentation.

Key Features

• Class 3000 pressure rating for high-pressure socket weld piping systems
• ASTM A105 forged carbon steel construction for strength and temperature resistance
• Socket weld end connections provide strong, full-penetration fillet-welded joints
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size for mid-range piping installations
• Union design allows pipe disconnection without cutting for maintenance and serviceability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for Class 3000 forged steel socket weld union fittings in 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size piping systems built to ASME B16.11 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical and piping codes, including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 as applicable to the system. Isolate and depressurize the piping system and allow it to cool completely before beginning work. Socket weld fittings require proper fit-up and fillet welding by a certified welder — do not use with threaded or slip-fit connections. Inspect the socket bore and pipe end for debris and burrs before assembly.
