ASC Engineered Solutions 310544606 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does this ASC Engineered Solutions black malleable iron reducing coupling connect?
It steps 2 inch pipe down to 1-1/2 inch. Both ends are female pipe thread (FPT), so it threads onto male-threaded pipe nipples or fittings on each side. Model 310544606.
2) Is this reducer approved for fire sprinkler piping?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it can be used on fire protection piping where UL Listed and FM Approved fittings are required. It is extra heavy (XH) black malleable iron, the class normally specified for threaded sprinkler mains and branch lines.
3) What is the difference between an XH and a standard class 150 malleable iron reducer?
XH is the extra heavy class, with thicker walls and a higher pressure rating than standard class 150 malleable iron. This one is rated and dimensioned to ASME B16.3 and made from ASTM A-197 malleable iron. Pick XH where the job spec calls for extra heavy or where the system pressure exceeds what standard 150 fittings allow; standard 150 is fine for ordinary low pressure gas and water service.
4) Can I use a black malleable iron reducer on a water line?
Black malleable iron is intended for gas, fire protection, steam, and non-corrosive service, not for potable water or wet lines exposed to moisture, because the black finish has no zinc coating and will rust. For wet or potable applications use a galvanized malleable fitting or another approved material instead.
5) Does this 2 x 1-1/2 reducer meet the ASME B16.3 dimensions my drawing calls out?
Yes, it is made to ASME B16.3 for both dimensions and pressure class, with ASTM A-197 malleable iron material and B1.20.1 threads. That is the usual three-line callout on a threaded fitting spec, so it drops straight into a B16.3 submittal.
6) How heavy is a 2 x 1-1/2 XH malleable iron reducer for hanger and support sizing?
The fitting weighs 2.72 lbs. Worth factoring in when you are laying out hangers on a run of extra heavy threaded pipe, since XH fittings add noticeably more dead load than standard class 150.
