ASC Engineered Solutions 310000609 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe size and thread does the ASC 3/8 black malleable iron 90 degree elbow take?
It's a 3/8 inch fitting with female pipe thread (FPT) on both ends, so it threads onto 3/8 inch NPT male pipe or nipples on each side. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the standard NPT thread spec, so it mates with any conforming 3/8 inch black pipe or nipple.
2) Can I use a black malleable iron 90 elbow on a gas line, or do I need galvanized?
Black malleable iron is the standard material for gas piping; galvanized is normally kept off fuel gas because the zinc coating can flake. This fitting is black finish malleable iron built to ASTM A-197 with ASME B16.3 dimensions and pressure rating, which is the usual spec called out for black iron gas and general purpose piping. It is not intended for potable water, where the black iron will rust.
3) What's the difference between a standard (STD) and extra heavy 150 vs 300 class malleable elbow?
This one is standard class, which in ASME B16.3 is the 150 class black malleable fitting used for ordinary gas, air, and low pressure service. Extra heavy (300 class) fittings have thicker walls and a higher pressure rating and are noticeably heavier and bulkier at the same pipe size. If your drawing calls for 300 class, this standard-class elbow is not a substitute.
4) What part number do I order for the ASC Engineered Solutions 3/8 black malleable 90?
The manufacturer part number is 310000609. Ask for it as a 3/8 black malleable iron 90 degree elbow, standard class, FPT x FPT.
5) Do I need thread sealant or tape on this fitting?
Yes. Tapered NPT threads per ASME B1.20.1 seal on the thread engagement, and a pipe dope or PTFE tape rated for the service (gas-rated dope on fuel gas) is standard practice to get a leak-free joint. Nothing is supplied with the fitting.
