ASC Engineered Solutions 311008601 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the ASC 1 x 1/2 galvanized malleable iron 90 elbow threaded on both ends, and what thread does it use?
Both ends are female pipe thread (FPT), cut to ASME B1.20.1, the NPT taper thread standard. So it threads onto male-threaded pipe nipples or male adapters on both sides, 1 inch NPT on the large end and 1/2 inch NPT on the small end. Nothing about it solders, grooves, or presses.
2) Does this 90 elbow reduce from 1 inch to 1/2 inch, or do I need a separate bushing?
It reduces in the fitting. One end takes 1 inch pipe, the other 1/2 inch, so you turn the corner and drop a size in a single piece. No reducing bushing or coupling needed, which also saves you a joint and a leak path.
3) Can I use a galvanized malleable iron elbow on a fire sprinkler line?
This ASC reducing 90 is UL/FM rated, which is what an AHJ looks for on sprinkler piping. It is malleable iron to ASTM A-197, hot dip galvanized to ASTM A-153, and standard (STD) weight with pressure ratings per ASME B16.3. Confirm the rating applies to your specific system pressure and the AHJ's requirements for the installation.
4) Will this galvanized elbow fit an existing black iron threaded line?
Yes, the threads are the same. Galvanized and black malleable iron fittings are both cut to NPT under ASME B1.20.1 and dimensioned to ASME B16.3, so they interchange mechanically. The reason to keep them separate is service, not fit: galvanized is the one used on water and where corrosion protection is wanted, black is used on gas and dry systems.
5) Is the galvanizing on this fitting hot dip or electroplated?
The coating is done to ASTM A-153, the hot dip galvanizing standard for iron and steel hardware. That is a heavier, dipped zinc layer rather than a plated flash, which is why it holds up in wet and outdoor runs. Expect to chase the threads free of any zinc buildup on a tight joint.
6) What part number do I order for the ASC 1 x 1/2 galvanized 90, and how much does it weigh for a freight estimate?
The manufacturer part number is 311008601. Each fitting weighs 0.57 lbs, so a carton of them adds up fast if you are pricing a large take-off.
