ASC Engineered Solutions 310544002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread type is the ASC Engineered Solutions 310544002 black malleable iron reducer?
It reduces 1-1/2 inch down to 1 inch, and both ends are female pipe thread (FPT). Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the NPT standard, so it mates with standard threaded black steel pipe and nipples of those two sizes. Both openings are female, so you thread male pipe ends into each side.
2) Is this 1-1/2 x 1 black reducer approved for a fire sprinkler system?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it can be used on fire protection piping where UL Listed and FM Approved fittings are required. It is extra heavy (XH) class malleable iron with pressure ratings per ASME B16.3, which is the class basis sprinkler contractors and AHJs look for on threaded black iron fittings.
3) What is the difference between an XH reducer and a standard 150 class one?
XH means extra heavy, a 300 class malleable iron fitting with thicker walls and a higher pressure rating than the common 150 class black fittings. Both are covered by ASME B16.3. If the drawing calls for 300 lb or extra heavy fittings, or the line is a sprinkler main or higher pressure service, the XH is what you need; a standard 150 class reducer is not a substitute in that case.
4) Can I use a black malleable iron reducer on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, fire sprinkler, steam, and similar non-potable service. For potable water you want galvanized or a lead-free brass or copper alloy fitting instead. The black finish here is an uncoated mill finish, not a corrosion coating for wet potable service.
5) What material spec does this ASC reducer meet for a submittal?
Material is malleable iron to ASTM A-197, with dimensions and pressure class to ASME B16.3 and threads to ASME B1.20.1. That trio is what most mechanical submittals and sprinkler shop drawings ask for on threaded black fittings.
6) How heavy is the 1-1/2 x 1 XH black reducer for overhead pipe support planning?
The fitting weighs 1.62 lbs. That is heavier than a comparable 150 class reducer because of the extra heavy wall, worth noting when you are totalling hanger loads on an overhead run.
