ASC Engineered Solutions 311069801 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread type are the four openings on the ASC 1/2 inch galvanized malleable iron cross?
All four outlets are 1/2 inch FPT, female NPT threads cut to ASME B1.20.1. That means it mates with any standard 1/2 inch male NPT pipe nipple or threaded pipe end, four ways, with pipe dope or PTFE tape on the male threads.
2) Is this cross the same size on all four ends, or is it a reducing cross?
It is a straight, equal cross: Size 1 through Size 4 are all 0.5 inch, and every end is FPT. If your run needs a branch that steps down, this is not the fitting for it, you would need a reducing cross or a bushing at one outlet.
3) Will a galvanized malleable iron cross work on a copper or PEX water line?
Not directly. All four ends are female NPT thread, so it joins threaded steel or iron pipe. To tie into copper or PEX you need a male NPT adapter or transition fitting at each branch. Mixing galvanized iron directly against copper also invites galvanic corrosion, so a dielectric union is the normal way to make that joint.
4) What is the material spec on this ASC cross, and is it cast iron?
It is malleable iron to ASTM A-197, not gray cast iron. Malleable iron is the standard material for threaded pipe fittings because it tolerates the stress of being wrenched up tight without cracking the way gray iron does.
5) When would I use a cross instead of two tees on a 1/2 inch line?
A cross gives you two opposed branches off a single point, so it saves a nipple and the extra length two back to back tees would take, useful in tight mechanical rooms and on sprinkler branch lines. Two tees are the better call when the branches need to be on different planes or at different sizes, since this is an equal 1/2 inch four way with all FPT ends.
6) How much does the 1/2 inch galvanized cross weigh for takeoff purposes?
0.43 lbs each. Handy if you are pricing a freight-weighted order or calculating hanger loads on a long threaded branch run.
