ASC Engineered Solutions 310514609 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the 2 inch black malleable iron 45 degree street elbow male on one end and female on the other?
Yes, it's a street ell, so it has one female end (FPT) and one male end (MPT), both 2 inch. That lets you turn 45 degrees straight off a female port or coupling without adding a nipple. A standard 45 elbow has two female ends and needs a nipple to do the same job.
2) What does XH mean on a malleable iron fitting, and is it the same as Class 300?
XH is extra heavy, the heavier wall class of malleable iron fitting, pressure rated per ASME B16.3. Class 150 standard fittings are the lighter, more common version. If a drawing calls out extra heavy or Class 300 malleable iron, this is the class you want; a standard 150 elbow is not a substitute.
3) Is this 2 inch 45 street elbow UL listed and FM approved for a sprinkler line?
Yes, the fitting carries UL/FM recognition, which is what a fire protection inspector looks for on threaded malleable iron in a sprinkler system. It's the extra heavy class, black finish, with NPT threads to ASME B1.20.1.
4) Can I use a black malleable iron elbow on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, fire protection, steam, air and other non-potable service. For domestic water you'd use galvanized, copper, CPVC or PEX instead, since black iron corrodes in wet potable service. The black finish here is the mill coating, not a corrosion barrier for water.
5) What grade of malleable iron is this 45 elbow made from?
The casting is ASTM A-197 malleable iron, the cupola malleable grade used for threaded pipe fittings. That's the material callout to put on a submittal alongside the ASME B16.3 dimensional and pressure standard.
6) How heavy is a 2 inch extra heavy black iron 45 street elbow?
It weighs 3.34 lbs each. Worth knowing if you're figuring hanger spacing or support loads on an overhead run with several fittings in it, since extra heavy malleable carries more wall than a standard Class 150 fitting.
