ASC Engineered Solutions 310017405 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will this 2-1/2 inch black malleable iron street elbow thread onto standard black steel pipe?
Yes. Both ends are cut to ASME B1.20.1, which is standard NPT taper pipe thread, so the female end takes 2-1/2 inch NPT male pipe or nipple and the male end threads into any 2-1/2 inch NPT female port. Both ends are 2-1/2 inch, so it is a straight size fitting with no reduction.
2) Can I use a black malleable iron street elbow on a potable water line?
No. The black finish is unlined and uncoated iron, intended for gas, fire protection, air, and closed-loop hydronic service. For domestic water you want galvanized or a non-ferrous fitting instead, since black iron will corrode in potable water service.
3) What material grade is this 2-1/2 inch street ell made from?
The casting is malleable iron produced to ASTM A-197, the standard grade for cupola malleable iron threaded fittings. That is the material callout most mechanical and fire protection specs reference for black threaded fittings, so it will satisfy a drawing that says ASTM A197 malleable iron.
4) Do I need a nipple or union to install this street elbow?
No nipple is needed on the male side. The MPT end threads straight into a female port, and the FPT end accepts a male nipple or threaded pipe end. You will still want pipe joint compound or PTFE tape rated for your service, and a union somewhere in the run if the assembly needs to come apart later, since threaded iron cannot be broken at the elbow alone.
5) How heavy is a 2-1/2 inch malleable iron 90 street elbow?
About 4 lbs each. Worth knowing if you are ordering a quantity for an overhead run, since a case of these adds up fast on a lift and the weight affects how you support the fitting at the turn.
