Threaded Forged Union

Our forged threaded union consists of three‑piece assembly: nut, male end and female end with PTFE sealing gasket. It enables easy assembly and dis‑assembly of threaded pipelines. Produced strictly following ASME B16.11 and MSS SP‑79 standards, all sizes maintain full nominal dimension without minus tolerance, widely used for instrument, hydraulic and fire‑fighting high‑pressure piping systems.

Overview

Forged Threaded Union is a three‑piece detachable pipe fitting with NPT internal and external threads. It is made up of male half, female half and hexagonal coupling nut with a PTFE or metal gasket between the two ends. It provides a convenient way for quick pipe installation, maintenance and disassembly without cutting pipelines.

We produce this threaded union by hot‑forged integrated forming. Available materials include carbon‑steel A105 and stainless‑steel A182‑F304 / F316L. The NPT threads are precisely machined for tight thread engagement. We strictly control thread size, outer diameter and wall‑thickness to guarantee zero minus tolerance and prevent leakage under high‑pressure conditions. Pressure classes include Class3000, Class6000 and Class9000 for different working requirements.

Core Key Features

FAQ

Q1: What is a threaded pipe union used for?

A: Three‑piece threaded union connects two pipes and allows easy disassembly. It is mainly installed where pipelines need frequent inspection or maintenance.

Q2: Do your threaded unions have minus‑tolerance on wall‑thickness?

A: All our forged pipe fittings are strictly manufactured to full‑nominal standard dimensions. We guarantee zero minus‑tolerance on wall‑thickness and thread sizes without thin‑wall cutting‑corners.

Q3: What thread types can you provide?

A: Standard thread is NPT; we also supply BSPP and BSPT British pipe thread according to customer requirements.

Q4: Can you supply stainless‑steel threaded unions?

A: Yes, we produce A182‑F304 and F316L stainless‑steel unions for corrosive‑media environments.
