ASC Engineered Solutions 310080601 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the ASC Engineered Solutions black malleable iron coupling join?
It joins two 1 inch threaded pipe ends. Both ends are female pipe thread (FPT), so it takes male-threaded pipe or nipples on each side, straight 1 inch to 1 inch with no reduction.
2) Will this 1 inch black coupling thread onto standard NPT pipe?
Yes. The threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, which is the NPT tapered pipe thread standard, so it mates with any standard 1 inch NPT male end. Use pipe dope or PTFE tape on the taper as usual.
3) Is this coupling UL listed and FM approved for fire sprinkler work?
Yes, it carries UL/FM recognition, which is what an inspector looks for on fire protection piping. It is a Class 150 standard pattern fitting, rated per ASME B16.3.
4) Can I use this coupling to join two pipes that are already fixed in place?
No. A threaded coupling has to spin onto one pipe and then the other, so at least one side must be free to rotate or be backed out. Both ends are FPT with tapered ASME B1.20.1 threads running the same direction. For a fixed-to-fixed joint, use a union or a right/left coupling with a nipple instead.
5) Is a black malleable iron coupling right for gas piping, or do I need galvanized?
Black malleable iron is the usual choice for fuel gas and for closed-loop hydronic and steam lines, where moisture is not a factor. The finish here is black, with a malleable iron body to ASTM A-197 and dimensions and pressure rating per ASME B16.3. For wet or exposed service, use a galvanized coupling of the same pattern instead.
6) Is this a standard or extra heavy malleable iron coupling?
Standard pattern, not extra heavy. Standard malleable iron fittings to ASME B16.3 are the Class 150 line used for most gas, hydronic, and sprinkler branch work. If your drawing calls for Class 300 extra heavy, this is not the fitting for that spec.
