Description
150# Cast Stainless Socket Weld Full Coupling 304
ASC / SCI 150# Cast Stainless Socket Weld Full Couplings provide a straight in-line connection between two compatible pipe sections in stainless steel socket-weld piping systems. ASC identifies the 304 stainless version as Figure 3714CP.
The full coupling configuration uses socket-weld connections on both ends, allowing adjoining pipe to be inserted into the fitting sockets and permanently welded into the piping assembly.

Full Coupling Configuration
A socket weld full coupling connects two compatible pipe sections in a straight line.
The fitting provides a socket-weld connection on each end, allowing both adjoining pipe sections to be inserted into the coupling body before welding.
Confirm that the piping layout requires a standard full coupling rather than a reducing coupling, half coupling, or union before fabrication.
ASC Figure 3714CP Identification
ASC identifies the 150# Cast 304 Stainless Socket Weld Full Coupling as Figure 3714CP.
Individual item numbers in this family use the S3714CP prefix followed by the applicable size designation.

Construction Details
This fitting uses cast 304 stainless steel construction.
The ASC / SCI stainless fitting information identifies 304 stainless castings as conforming to ASTM A351 ACI Grade CF8.
The cast body incorporates socket-weld openings at both ends to create a permanent in-line piping connection.
304 Stainless Steel
This product is the 304 stainless steel version of the ASC / SCI 150# cast socket-weld full coupling family.
The 304 stainless casting designation is identified as ASTM A351 ACI Grade CF8.
Confirm compatibility between the fitting material, adjoining pipe, process media, welding procedure, and overall system requirements before installation.
Socket Weld Connections
The full coupling uses socket-weld connections on both ends.
Each adjoining pipe section is inserted into the corresponding fitting socket before the connection is welded in place.
Proper pipe preparation, insertion, alignment, and welding procedures should be followed for the intended piping system.
Full Coupling vs. Reducing Coupling
Full Coupling – Figure 3714CP
- Straight in-line connection
- Socket-weld connection on both ends
- Connects matching nominal pipe sizes
- No pipe-size reduction
- This GetPipe.com product
Reducing Coupling
- Also uses two socket-weld connections
- Connects different nominal pipe sizes
- Provides an in-line size transition
- Different coupling configuration
- Should not be substituted when equal-size connections are required
Full Coupling vs. Union
Full Coupling
- Permanent one-piece connection
- Socket-weld ends
- No separable center joint
- Compact straight fitting
- Figure 3714CP
Socket Weld Union
- Socket-weld connection on each side
- Includes a separable center connection
- Allows future piping disassembly
- Different service purpose
- Use where a removable connection is required
Full Coupling vs. Half Coupling
Full Coupling
- Two socket-weld openings
- Connects two pipe sections
- Provides a complete in-line connection
- Cast stainless construction
- This GetPipe.com product
Half Coupling
- Single coupling-side connection
- Different fitting configuration
- Commonly used where only one socket connection is required
- Does not connect two pipe ends in the same manner
- Should not be substituted without confirming system design
SCI Stainless Weld Catalog Reference
The supplied SCI Stainless Weld Fittings Catalog is included as an additional stainless fitting reference.
That catalog states that SCI stainless weld fittings conform to ASTM A403 Grade 304/304L & 316/316L, ASTM A960, and MSS SP-43, with dimensions conforming to ASME B16.9 except wall thickness and MSS SP-43.
Because this product is a cast socket-weld full coupling, use the supplied ASC 150# Stainless Socket Weld information as the more product-specific reference for this fitting.
Pipe Dimensions & Wall Thickness Reference
The supplied GetPipe.com Common Diameters and Wall Thicknesses PDF is included as a general adjoining-pipe reference.
Use it when checking nominal pipe size, outside diameter, and schedule-related wall-thickness information for compatible piping.
The pipe chart should not be interpreted as providing this coupling's socket depth, overall dimensions, fitting dimensions, or weight.
Applications
The 150# Cast Stainless Socket Weld Full Coupling 304 is intended for compatible stainless steel piping systems requiring a permanent straight in-line connection between two pipe sections using socket-weld joints.
Final suitability should be confirmed against 304 stainless steel material requirements, connection style, adjoining pipe, welding requirements, operating conditions, process media, and overall system design.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm that the installation requires a 150#, 304 stainless steel socket-weld full coupling.
- Verify that both adjoining pipe sections require matching coupling connections.
- Confirm compatibility between both fitting sockets and the adjoining pipe.
- Use appropriate pipe preparation, insertion, alignment, and welding procedures.
- Review the supplied ASC Socket Weld document as the product-specific reference, with the SCI stainless weld catalog and pipe chart used as supporting references.
Use the supplied ASC 150# Stainless Socket Weld document to confirm the Figure 3714CP 304 stainless steel, 150#, socket-weld full coupling configuration. The SCI Stainless Weld Fittings catalog and pipe chart are also included as supporting stainless fitting and adjoining-pipe references.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ASC figure identifies this 304 socket-weld full coupling?
ASC identifies the 150# Cast 304 Stainless Socket Weld Full Coupling as Figure 3714CP.
What item-number family is used for the 304 full coupling?
Individual item numbers use the S3714CP family designation.
What material is this fitting?
This product is identified as cast 304 stainless steel.
What ASTM casting grade applies to the 304 version?
The ASC / SCI stainless fitting information identifies 304 stainless castings as ASTM A351 ACI Grade CF8.
What connection style does this fitting use?
The fitting uses socket-weld connections on both ends.
What is a full coupling used for?
A full coupling connects two compatible pipe sections in a straight line using two socket-weld connections.
How does a socket-weld connection work?
The adjoining pipe is inserted into the fitting socket and the joint is welded in place.
How is a full coupling different from a reducing coupling?
A full coupling connects matching nominal pipe sizes, while a reducing coupling transitions between two different nominal pipe sizes.
How is a full coupling different from a union?
A full coupling creates a permanent one-piece connection. A union includes a separable center joint that allows future piping disassembly.
Is this a threaded coupling?
No. This product uses socket-weld connections rather than threaded ends.
Are size and dimensional tables included on this page?
No. Size, part-number, packing, weight, and dimensional tables are not included unless specifically requested.
Which supplied PDF is the most product-specific?
The ASC 150# Stainless Socket Weld PDF is the most product-specific supplied document for this cast socket-weld full coupling.
What is the SCI Stainless Weld Fittings Catalog used for here?
It is included as an additional stainless fitting reference. Its primary product family is stainless butt-weld fittings rather than this cast socket-weld fitting.
What does the Pipe Dimensions and Wall Thickness PDF provide?
It provides general adjoining-pipe reference information for nominal pipe size, outside diameter, and schedule-related wall thickness.
What should I verify before installation?
Confirm 304 stainless material, 150# configuration, matching pipe connections, socket-weld compatibility, adjoining pipe, and the appropriate welding procedure.
