ASC Engineered Solutions 311087209 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the ASC 1 x 3/8 galvanized malleable iron reducer connect?
It joins 1 inch pipe down to 3/8 inch pipe, with female pipe threads on both ends. Both openings are FPT, so it threads onto male pipe ends or male nipples, not onto female fittings. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1 (NPT), so it mates with standard NPT pipe and nipples.
2) Can I use a galvanized malleable iron reducer on a fire sprinkler line?
The 1 x 3/8 galvanized reducer is UL/FM recognized, which is the listing fire protection contractors check before a fitting goes on a sprinkler line. It is standard weight (STD) per the ASME B16.3 pressure rating, so confirm it meets the working pressure on your hydraulic calculation for the system.
3) Is this reducer safe for potable water or wet galvanized pipe?
The fitting is hot dip galvanized to ASTM A-153, which is the coating spec used for galvanized steel pipe systems, so it matches existing galvanized pipe runs and resists corrosion in wet service. It is not a lead-free brass fitting, so for potable water follow the material your jurisdiction allows for the line. On air, sprinkler, and general water piping in galvanized steel, it is the matching fitting.
4) What standards does this ASC malleable iron reducer meet?
Castings are to ASTM A-197 malleable iron, dimensions and pressure class to ASME B16.3, threads to ASME B1.20.1, and the galvanizing to ASTM A-153. That combination is what a spec writer or inspector looks for when the drawing calls out standard weight 150 class galvanized malleable fittings.
5) What is the part number and weight for the ASC 1 x 3/8 galvanized reducer?
Order it as ASC Engineered Solutions part 311087209. Each fitting weighs 0.38 lbs, which is worth knowing when you are pricing freight on a full box for a job.
6) Do I need to use pipe dope or tape with this galvanized reducer?
Yes, the threads are tapered NPT per ASME B1.20.1, and tapered iron pipe threads seal on the thread engagement with a sealant. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male pipe ends going into both female openings. There is no gasket or O-ring in this fitting.
