ASC Engineered Solutions 310087408 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a black malleable iron reducer on a gas line?
Black malleable iron threaded fittings are the standard choice for natural gas and propane piping, and this one is built to the usual specs for that service: ASTM A-197 malleable iron, ASME B16.3 dimensions and pressure rating, standard (STD) strength class, with a black finish rather than galvanized. Local code and the AHJ still govern the install, but the material and thread standards here are what gas fitters specify.
2) Is this reducer UL listed and FM approved for fire sprinkler work?
Yes, the 1 x 1/4 black malleable iron reducer carries UL/FM recognition, which is what a sprinkler contractor needs when the fitting goes into a listed fire protection system. It is a threaded fitting with FPT on both ends, dimensioned to ASME B16.3.
3) Should I use a reducing coupling or a bushing to go from 1 inch to 1/4 inch?
This part is a true reducer with female threads on both ends, so it sits between two male pipe ends and joins them inline. A bushing is the other approach: male on the large end, female on the small end, and it threads into an existing female port such as a tee or a valve. Pick the reducer when both sides of the joint present male threads; pick a bushing when you are reducing inside a fitting you already have.
4) What is the ASC part number and weight on the 1 x 1/4 black reducer?
Order it as MPN 310087408. It weighs 0.35 lbs, useful if you are building out a shipment or a hanger load for a run of fittings.
5) Do I need pipe dope or tape with this threaded iron reducer?
Yes, both female ends are tapered NPT to ASME B1.20.1, and tapered threads seal on the thread engagement with a sealant, not on a gasket. Use a thread sealant rated for the service, PTFE tape or a gas-rated pipe dope for fuel gas lines.
