ASC Engineered Solutions 310545603 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the ASC Engineered Solutions black malleable iron reducing coupling connect?
It joins 2-1/2 inch pipe to 2 inch pipe, with female pipe threads on both ends. Both ports are FPT, so it threads onto male-threaded pipe ends or nipples, not onto plain pipe. Model number is 310545603.
2) Will this 2-1/2 x 2 reducer thread onto standard NPT pipe?
Yes. The threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, which is the standard NPT taper thread spec, so it mates with any NPT male pipe end or nipple in those sizes. Use pipe dope or PTFE tape on the threads as you would with any tapered iron joint.
3) Is this reducer approved for fire sprinkler piping?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it is acceptable for fire protection piping where UL Listed and FM Approved fittings are required. It is black malleable iron, which is the usual choice for wet sprinkler and black steel systems rather than potable water.
4) What does the XH rating mean on this malleable iron reducer?
XH is extra heavy, a thicker wall and higher pressure class than a standard class 150 malleable fitting. Pressure rating and dimensions both follow ASME B16.3, and the body is malleable iron to ASTM A-197. It is the fitting you use where the line class calls for extra heavy rather than standard weight.
5) Can I use a black malleable iron reducer on a domestic water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, fire protection, and black steel service. For potable water you want a galvanized or non-ferrous fitting instead. This one is the black finish version.
6) Will this reducer match the laying length of the fitting I am replacing?
Dimensions are built to ASME B16.3, the standard for malleable iron threaded fittings, so a 2-1/2 x 2 extra heavy reducing coupling from any B16.3 maker drops into the same space. If the fitting coming out was a standard weight class 150, the extra heavy body may differ in outside dimensions even though the thread engagement matches.
7) How much does the 2-1/2 x 2 extra heavy black reducer weigh?
4.32 lbs. That is a heavy fitting for its size because of the extra heavy wall, so plan hanger spacing and support accordingly on a run with several of them.
