Selection and ordering notes
Socket weld and threaded fittings are used on drains, vents, instrument and utility lines of 2" and below. The socket weld type allows higher pressure, while the threaded type is the answer where welding is not possible.
Threading reduces the section, so SCH 80 pipe is normally required. Classes are given as 3000#, 6000# and 9000#. See five rules for fitting a flange for the details.
