ASC Engineered Solutions 311077408 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this return bend approved for fire sprinkler piping?
It carries UL/FM approval, which is what an inspector looks for on sprinkler and fire protection piping. It is a standard weight malleable iron fitting rated to ASME B16.3 for pressure.
2) Can I use a galvanized malleable iron return bend outdoors or in a wet location?
The galvanized coating is applied to ASTM A-153, the hot-dip spec for hardware, which is what gives it corrosion protection for damp, outdoor, or unheated runs. The casting itself is malleable iron to ASTM A-197. For potable water lines, galvanized malleable iron is the traditional match to galvanized steel pipe, not to copper, since dissimilar metal contact invites galvanic corrosion.
3) Is this a standard or extra heavy fitting, and what dimensional standard does it follow?
Standard weight (STD), built to ASME B16.3, which governs both the dimensions and the pressure class for threaded malleable iron fittings. If a drawing calls for Class 300 extra heavy, this is not that fitting.
4) Do I need pipe dope or PTFE tape on the threads of this malleable iron return bend?
Yes. The ends are tapered NPT female threads per ASME B1.20.1, and tapered pipe threads seal on the thread flank with a sealant, not on a gasket. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male pipe ends going into the bend. No gasket or O-ring is supplied or needed.
