3" Aluminum Grooved End x Weld Nipple Adapter

The AVN3000-200 combines a grooved end and weld end in one fitting. This allows a compatible grooved piping section to transition into a welded piping arrangement without adding a separate threaded adapter.

Confirm that both sides of the installation require the specified connection styles before ordering. The grooved and weld interfaces should each match the surrounding system components.

Dixon lists AVN3000-200 as the aluminum version of the 3" Grooved End x Weld Nipple. Aluminum construction distinguishes this part from the carbon steel and 316 stainless steel versions in the same family.

Verify that aluminum is appropriate for the connected piping and intended service conditions. Material selection should be confirmed before fabrication or installation begins.

Dixon specifies AVN3000-200 as a 3" nominal-size fitting. The nominal size should be confirmed against the grooved-system components and the weld-side piping before installation.

Do not select the fitting by appearance alone. Verify the AVN3000-200 part number and 3" nominal size before placing the component into a fabricated assembly.

The grooved end should be matched with compatible grooved-system components, while the weld end should be incorporated using an appropriate welding procedure for the aluminum fitting and mating material.

Check alignment before completing the welded connection so the finished assembly does not place unnecessary stress on the grooved side. Inspect both connection areas before service.
