ASC Engineered Solutions 310088604 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the ASC 1-1/2 x 3/4 black malleable iron reducer have female threads on both ends?
Both ends are FPT, so the reducer threads onto male pipe threads at each side: 1-1/2 inch on the large end, 3/4 inch on the small end. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1 (NPT), so it mates with standard tapered pipe thread on black steel nipples and fittings. If you need a male end to thread into a female port, a bushing is the part to use instead.
2) Can I use a black malleable iron reducer on a sprinkler line, or is it UL/FM only for other uses?
It carries a UL/FM designation, which is the approval fire protection contractors look for on threaded fire sprinkler piping. It is standard weight (STD) malleable iron rated to ASME B16.3. For potable water, black iron is the wrong choice; galvanized or a copper/CPVC transition is what you want there.
3) Is this reducer OK for natural gas or black iron gas piping?
Black finish malleable iron to ASTM A-197 with ASME B16.3 dimensions and B1.20.1 tapered threads is the standard threaded fitting construction used on black iron gas and air lines. Use a thread sealant rated for the service on the male threads going into it. Local code governs the final call on gas work.
4) Will this drop into a standard weight 1-1/2 inch threaded run without changing my layout?
Yes, dimensions follow ASME B16.3, the standard that fixes malleable iron threaded fitting lay length and thread engagement, so it takes up the same space as any other conforming Class 150 standard weight reducer of that size. Strength class is STD, so do not substitute it into an extra heavy (Class 300) run.
5) Do I need to worry about corrosion with a black reducer in a wet sprinkler system?
The finish is plain black, not galvanized, so there is no zinc coating to resist corrosion. That is normal for wet pipe sprinkler and gas service where the interior stays full or dry, but for exposed outdoor runs or a dry system prone to condensation, a galvanized malleable iron reducer of the same 1-1/2 x 3/4 size is the better pick.
