ASC Engineered Solutions 311088801 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the ASC 1-1/2 x 1/2 galvanized malleable iron reducer connect?
It steps 1-1/2 inch pipe down to 1/2 inch pipe in a single fitting. Both ends are female pipe thread (FPT), so it threads onto male pipe ends or male-threaded nipples on each side. Model 311088801.
2) Are the threads on this galvanized reducer standard NPT?
Yes. The threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, which is the standard for NPT pipe threads, so the fitting mates with any standard NPT male pipe end using pipe dope or PTFE tape.
3) Is this reducer approved for fire sprinkler piping?
The fitting carries UL/FM approval, which is what an inspector looks for on fire protection piping. It is standard (STD) pattern malleable iron with a galvanized finish, dimensioned and pressure rated to ASME B16.3.
4) Can I use a galvanized malleable iron reducer on a wet or outdoor line?
The galvanizing is done to ASTM A-153, hot dip coating for iron hardware, which is what makes this suitable for damp, outdoor, and corrosive service where black iron would rust. The body itself is malleable iron to ASTM A-197.
5) What is the difference between a reducing coupling like this and a bushing?
This 1-1/2 x 1/2 fitting is a reducing coupling with female threads on both ends, so it joins two male pipe ends of different sizes. A bushing has male threads on the large end and screws into a female port instead. If you are reducing inside an existing female fitting, you want a bushing; if you are joining two pipe runs, this is the part.
6) Will this reducer match the dimensions on my piping drawing?
Its laying length and body dimensions follow ASME B16.3, the dimensional standard for malleable iron threaded fittings, so it drops into a layout specified to that standard without redimensioning the run.
7) Will this galvanized fitting work on a gas or steam line?
It is a standard weight malleable iron threaded fitting rated to ASME B16.3, the pressure standard for threaded malleable iron. Galvanized malleable is commonly run on water, air, and fire protection. For fuel gas, check your local code, as many jurisdictions require black iron rather than galvanized because zinc can flake into the line.
