2-inch Forged Steel Union
The Anvil 362501801 is a socket-weld union designed for industrial piping systems. It suits engineers and maintenance crews who need a detachable joint in high-pressure water or oil lines across chemical, petrochemical, pulp, paper, shipbuilding, waste incineration and semiconductor plants.
Leak-tight performance under pressure
Thick forged-steel walls contain the media without deformation during normal service. The socket-weld connection eliminates threaded leak paths, so the joint stays tight through thermal cycles and vibration while adding negligible flow restriction.
Simplified assembly and inspection
The union nut allows the joint to be broken for inspection or replacement without cutting pipe. It must be paired with correctly rated nipples and pipe to maintain the system pressure rating, giving installers a clear, code-compliant upgrade path.

Questions about this item
How do you install the 362501801 socket-weld union and what step is often missed?
Weld each socket end to the matching pipe, then join the halves with the union nut. The step often missed is confirming the pipe and nipples carry the same pressure rating before welding.
What maintenance or replacement will the 362501801 union need over time?
Inspect the gasket seat for corrosion or erosion during routine shutdowns; replace the gasket if leakage appears, and replace the union body if the socket welds show cracking.
What is the first limit that appears when the 362501801 union runs continuously with water or oil?
The gasket material reaches its temperature or chemical-resistance limit first, causing seal degradation before the forged-steel body shows fatigue.
