ASC Engineered Solutions 310513601 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the ASC 1/2 inch black malleable iron 45 degree street elbow female on one end and male on the other?
Yes, that's what makes it a street elbow. One end is 1/2 inch FPT (female thread) and the other is 1/2 inch MPT (male thread), so it threads straight into a female fitting port without needing a nipple between them. Both ends are the same 1/2 inch nominal size.
2) Can I use a black malleable iron 45 elbow on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, fire protection, steam, and non-potable applications. The black finish has no corrosion protection against water, so it rusts on a wet potable line. For potable water use galvanized malleable iron, copper, or PEX instead.
3) What does XH mean on a malleable iron fitting, and when do I need it over standard weight?
XH is extra heavy, a thicker wall and higher pressure rating than standard (150) malleable iron. Reach for it where the system pressure or mechanical abuse on the line exceeds what a standard weight fitting is rated for. This one is XH class, with its pressure rating governed by ASME B16.3.
4) Does this 45 degree elbow meet ASME B16.3 for a spec'd job?
It does. Dimensions and pressure rating both follow ASME B16.3, the standard for threaded malleable iron fittings, and the casting is made to ASTM A-197 malleable iron. If the drawing calls out B16.3 Class 300 malleable iron, this XH fitting is the right category of part.
5) What is the part number for the ASC 1/2 inch XH black 45 street elbow?
Order it as ASC Engineered Solutions MPN 310513601. It weighs 0.36 lbs per fitting, which is useful if you are pricing freight on a bulk pull.
