ASC Engineered Solutions 311090609 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the ASC Engineered Solutions 2-1/2 x 1 galvanized malleable iron reducer connect?
It joins 2-1/2 inch pipe down to 1 inch. Both ends are female pipe thread (FPT), so it threads onto male-threaded pipe ends or nipples on each side. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the standard NPT tapered thread spec, so it mates with any standard NPT threaded pipe of those two sizes.
2) Is this malleable iron reducer approved for fire sprinkler piping?
Yes, it carries UL/FM approval, so it can be used on fire protection piping where the authority having jurisdiction requires listed fittings. It is standard (STD) class malleable iron built to ASME B16.3 for both dimensions and pressure rating.
3) Can I use a galvanized malleable iron reducer on a wet or outdoor line?
The galvanized finish is applied to ASTM A-153, the hot-dip galvanizing standard for iron hardware, which is what makes it suitable for damp, outdoor, and corrosive service where black iron would rust. The body itself is malleable iron to ASTM A-197.
4) Should I use a threaded reducer coupling or a bushing to go from 2-1/2 inch to 1 inch?
This part is a reducing coupling, female thread on both ends, so it sits between two male pipe ends and takes the step down inside its own body. A bushing is male on the large side and screws into a female port instead. If you are coming off two threaded pipe ends or nipples, the reducer is what you want; if you are reducing inside an existing female fitting, you need a bushing.
5) Will a galvanized reducer work on a gas line?
Threads conform to ASME B1.20.1 NPT and the fitting is standard class malleable iron to ASME B16.3, which is the usual construction for threaded iron gas piping. Galvanized fittings are restricted or prohibited for fuel gas by some local codes, so check what your jurisdiction allows before installing on gas; for black iron gas work, order the same fitting in a black finish.
6) What part number do I order for the ASC 2-1/2 x 1 galvanized reducer?
Order ASC Engineered Solutions part 311090609. That is the 2-1/2 inch by 1 inch galvanized malleable iron reducer, FPT both ends.
