ASC Engineered Solutions 311078000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and size does the ASC 2 inch galvanized malleable iron open return bend take?
Both ends are 2 inch FPT, female NPT taper thread cut to ASME B1.20.1. That means it threads straight onto 2 inch male-threaded steel or galvanized pipe nipples, no adapters needed as long as your pipe is standard NPT.
2) Can this open return bend be used on a fire sprinkler system?
It carries a UL/FM listing, which is the approval fire protection contractors and AHJs look for on sprinkler piping components. It is a standard weight malleable iron fitting built to ASME B16.3 for dimensions and pressure rating.
3) Is a galvanized malleable iron return bend OK for outdoor or wet piping runs?
The galvanizing is hot dip to ASTM A-153, the same coating spec used on exterior structural hardware, so it holds up on damp and exposed runs better than black iron. The body itself is malleable iron to ASTM A-197. For a fully buried or chemically aggressive line, galvanized steel is still not the right answer, but for exposed wet service it is the standard choice.
4) Is this return bend a reducing fitting or the same size on both ends?
Same size both ends: 2 inch in, 2 inch out, female thread on each. If you need to change pipe size through the turn you will have to add a bushing or reducer on one leg.
5) How heavy is the 2 inch galvanized return bend, and does it need support?
It weighs 4.25 lbs on its own. Filled with water and hanging off two 2 inch threaded joints, that is enough mass that you want a hanger near the bend rather than letting the fitting carry the run.
