ASC Engineered Solutions 318900768 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will this ASC 2-1/2 inch black malleable iron cap thread onto standard 2-1/2 inch black steel pipe?
Yes. The cap has a 2-1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) end cut to ASME B1.20.1, which is standard NPT taper thread, so it screws directly onto the male threaded end of 2-1/2 inch black steel pipe. Use pipe dope or PTFE tape on the male threads as usual for a taper thread joint.
2) Is this malleable iron cap acceptable for a fire sprinkler line?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it can be used on fire protection piping where a listed fitting is required. It is a standard (STD) weight malleable iron fitting to ASME B16.3, black finish, which is the normal choice for wet sprinkler mains and drops. Always match the fitting class to the system's working pressure on the drawing.
3) Can I use a black malleable iron cap on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is uncoated and will rust in potable water service. It is intended for black steel pipe systems, typically gas, fire protection, steam and non potable service. For water lines use a galvanized or a copper/brass fitting instead.
4) How heavy is a 2-1/2 inch black malleable iron cap?
About 1.75 lbs each. Worth knowing if you are pricing out freight on a bulk order or figuring hanger loads on a run with several capped outlets.
