ASC Engineered Solutions 310501408 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the ASC 1-1/2 inch black malleable iron 90 degree elbow threaded on both ends?
Both openings are FPT, female pipe thread, in 1-1/2 inch. So it threads onto male-threaded pipe nipples or MPT fittings on each side, cut to NPT per ASME B1.20.1. If you need a male end on one side, you want a street elbow instead.
2) What does XH mean on this malleable iron elbow, and is it different from a standard black 150 fitting?
XH is extra heavy, a thicker wall and higher pressure class than the standard black malleable Class 150 fitting of the same size. Dimensions and pressure class both follow ASME B16.3, and the body is malleable iron to ASTM A-197. If your drawing just calls for standard black 150 threaded fittings, the extra heavy version will still thread up fine, but you would be paying for wall you do not need.
3) Is a black malleable iron elbow OK for a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, fire protection, and non-potable service such as steam or air. Its uncoated finish will rust in water service. For potable water use galvanized malleable iron, copper, or PEX fittings instead.
4) Will this 1-1/2 inch 90 degree elbow work on a black iron gas line?
Yes, this is the standard fitting type for threaded black iron gas piping. Both ends are 1-1/2 inch FPT to ASME B1.20.1, so it takes standard NPT black nipples with pipe dope or gas-rated tape. Note it is the extra heavy class, so wall thickness exceeds what most residential and light commercial gas work calls for.
5) What is the exact part number for the ASC Engineered Solutions 1-1/2 inch XH black 90 elbow?
Order it as ASC Engineered Solutions MPN 310501408. That is the 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 inch extra heavy black malleable iron 90 degree elbow with FPT ends.
6) Do I need a reducing elbow, or is this one straight 1-1/2 inch through?
Straight through. Size 1 and Size 2 are both 1-1/2 inch, so it is a full-size 90 turn, not a reducer. If you are dropping from 1-1/2 to a smaller branch at the turn, you need a reducing elbow or a bushing on one side.
7) How much does the ASC 1-1/2 inch extra heavy black elbow weigh for a support and hanger calculation?
Each fitting is 2.47 lbs. On a run with several changes of direction, the extra heavy fittings add up quickly against your hanger spacing, so include that per-fitting weight along with the pipe and contents when sizing supports.
