ASC Engineered Solutions 310544200 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the ASC Engineered Solutions black malleable iron reducing coupling join?
It reduces 1-1/2 inch down to 3/4 inch, with female pipe threads on both ends. Both ends are tapered NPT cut to ASME B1.20.1, so it threads onto standard male pipe thread or a male nipple at each size.
2) Is a black malleable iron reducer OK for potable water?
No. Black malleable iron is uncoated and will corrode in wet potable service; the black finish is for gas, steam, fire protection and similar dry or oil-service lines. For water, use a galvanized malleable fitting or a copper, brass or CPVC transition instead.
3) What does XH mean on a malleable iron reducer, and when do I need it over a standard 150 class fitting?
XH is extra heavy, meaning a thicker wall and a higher pressure rating than the standard class fitting at the same size. Pressure ratings here follow ASME B16.3. Use XH where the spec calls for higher working pressure, on steam and heavier mechanical service, or where the drawing states extra heavy; a standard class 150 fitting is the common choice on lower pressure water and gas runs.
4) Does this ASC reducer meet a spec calling out ASTM A197 and ASME B16.3?
Yes on both counts. The casting is made to ASTM A-197 malleable iron and the fitting dimensions and pressure ratings follow ASME B16.3, with NPT threads to ASME B1.20.1. That is the standard call-out set on commercial mechanical and fire protection submittals.
5) Do I need thread sealant with this fitting, or does it seal on its own?
You need sealant. The ends are tapered NPT per ASME B1.20.1, which seals on thread interference, so pipe dope or PTFE tape rated for the service (gas-rated compound on fuel gas) is required. Nothing is supplied with the fitting.
6) How much does the 1-1/2 x 3/4 XH black reducer weigh for takeoff and hanger sizing?
Each one runs 1.57 lbs. Useful when you are counting a pallet of fittings for freight or adding fitting weight into a hanger load on a threaded steel run.
