ASC Engineered Solutions 310545009 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the ASC 2 x 1 black malleable iron reducer connect?
It takes 2 inch pipe on the large end and 1 inch on the small end, both female tapered pipe thread (FPT). Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, so it mates with standard NPT male pipe ends and nipples in those two sizes. Part number 310545009.
2) Is this reducer approved for fire sprinkler piping?
Yes, the 2 x 1 extra heavy black malleable iron reducer is UL/FM listed, which is what a sprinkler contractor needs for fire protection service. It is built to the extra heavy (Class 300) pattern under ASME B16.3.
3) What is the difference between an XH and a standard black iron reducer?
XH is the extra heavy (Class 300) pattern, with heavier wall and higher pressure rating than the standard Class 150 fitting of the same size. Both are dimensioned under ASME B16.3, but if the drawing calls for Class 300 or the system is a higher pressure steam or fire line, the standard black fitting will not satisfy the spec.
4) Can I use this black malleable iron reducer on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, air, steam, and fire protection or other non-potable service. Black fittings corrode in potable water; use galvanized, copper, or brass there. The black finish here is the mill coating, not a corrosion barrier for wet potable service.
5) What material spec does this ASC malleable iron fitting meet?
The casting is malleable iron to ASTM A-197, with dimensions and pressure rating per ASME B16.3 and threads per ASME B1.20.1. That is the combination most mechanical and fire protection submittals ask for on black iron threaded fittings.
6) How heavy is the 2 x 1 XH malleable iron reducer?
About 2.54 lbs each. Worth knowing if you are hanging a run of them, since extra heavy fittings add noticeable weight to threaded pipe supports compared with standard pattern.
