Description
3000# Forged Steel Coupling SW X FIP
3000# Forged Steel Couplings SW X FIP are designed to transition between a socket weld pipe connection and a female NPT threaded connection within compatible high-pressure piping systems.
Manufactured from normalized forged carbon steel conforming to ASME SA105N, these combination couplings provide a compact way to connect socket weld piping to male-threaded components. Forged steel fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.11, while NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.

SW X FIP Configuration
Socket Weld End
The socket weld opening accepts compatible pipe for a permanent welded connection.
Forged Coupling Body
The forged body provides a compact transition between two different connection styles within one fitting.
Female NPT End
The female threaded opening accepts a compatible male NPT pipe, nipple, valve, or fitting.
Construction Details
These 3000# SW x FIP couplings are manufactured from normalized ASME SA105N forged carbon steel for demanding piping applications requiring strength, durability, and dimensional consistency.
Forged steel fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.11, while the female NPT threaded connection conforms to ASME B1.20.1. The combination configuration allows a socket weld piping section to transition directly to a threaded component without requiring multiple separate fittings.
Why Choose an SW X FIP Coupling?
Combination Connection
- Socket Weld x Female NPT configuration
- Transitions between welded and threaded piping
- Reduces the need for multiple transition fittings
- Compact straight-through design
- Suitable for compatible 3000# piping systems
Forged Steel Construction
- Manufactured from forged carbon steel
- Material conforms to ASME SA105N
- Normalized material condition
- Dimensions conform to ASME B16.11
- Manufactured in an ISO-certified facility
SW X FIP Coupling vs. Standard Full Coupling
SW X FIP Coupling
A combination coupling provides one socket weld connection and one female NPT threaded connection for transitioning between connection styles.
Standard Full Coupling
A standard full coupling typically uses the same connection type on both ends, such as socket weld x socket weld or female NPT x female NPT.
Typical Applications
