Anvil 2" Black Forged Steel Coupling Class 3000

2" Black Forged Steel Coupling Class 3000

This 2-inch black forged steel coupling carries a Class 3000 rating for high-pressure piping systems. It meets ASME B16.11 and ASTM A106 standards with a maximum pressure of 1500 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. The FNPT threaded connection suits steam, water, oil and gas lines in industrial and commercial installations. The fitting operates from minus 20 up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit.

Suitable applications and limitations

This coupling suits installers who need a 2-inch FNPT joint rated for 1500 psi working pressure and 300 psi saturated steam service. It is not for systems that require a larger or smaller pipe size, a different thread standard, or a pressure class above Class 3000. Buyers needing welded, socket-weld or flanged ends should select an alternative fitting type. The temperature ceiling of 550 degrees Fahrenheit also excludes higher-heat processes.

Class 3000 pressure rating

The Class 3000 designation is the single specification that determines whether this coupling matches the design pressure of the system. It defines the 1500 psi maximum at 150 degrees Fahrenheit and the 300 psi saturated steam limit at 550 degrees Fahrenheit. Verify that the piping specification calls for Class 3000 forged steel before ordering.
