ASC Engineered Solutions 310089008 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the ASC 2 x 1-1/2 black malleable iron reducer connect?
It joins 2 inch pipe down to 1-1/2 inch pipe. 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 thread spec, so it mates with any standard NPT threaded pipe of those two sizes.
2) Can I use a black malleable iron reducer on a fire sprinkler line?
This 2 x 1-1/2 reducer carries UL/FM approval, which is what an AHJ looks for on sprinkler piping. It is standard weight (STD) malleable iron to ASTM A-197 with pressure ratings per ASME B16.3. Black iron is the usual choice for wet and dry sprinkler and black steel pipe systems.
3) Is black malleable iron OK for potable water, or should I use galvanized?
Black malleable iron is meant for gas, air, steam, and black steel pipe systems, plus fire protection. For potable water lines you want a galvanized malleable iron fitting or a different material entirely, since bare black iron will rust in a wet water service. The 2 x 1-1/2 reducer here has a black finish.
4) Will this reducer meet a spec calling for ASME B16.3 Class 150 malleable iron fittings?
Dimensions and pressure rating both reference ASME B16.3, and the material is ASTM A-197 malleable iron at standard weight. That is the standard-class (150) malleable iron fitting spec, so it drops into a drawing calling out B16.3 threaded malleable iron. If the spec calls for 300 class, you need an extra-heavy fitting instead.
5) How much does the ASC 2 x 1-1/2 malleable iron reducer weigh for a takeoff?
1.55 lbs each. Worth knowing on overhead sprinkler or gas runs where you are pricing hanger spacing and shipping weight on a full box.
6) Do I need to seal the threads on this reducer?
Yes. Tapered NPT threads to ASME B1.20.1 seal on the thread flanks, but they still need pipe dope or PTFE tape rated for the service, gas rated compound on fuel gas. The reducer itself ships as a bare fitting with no sealant applied.
7) What is the ASC part number for the 2 x 1-1/2 black malleable iron reducer?
Order it as ASC Engineered Solutions model 310089008. That number covers the black, standard weight, 2 inch by 1-1/2 inch reducing coupling with FPT ends.
