ASC Engineered Solutions 310016001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will this 3/8 street elbow thread onto standard 3/8 inch black pipe?
Yes. Both ends are 3/8 inch and the threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, which is standard NPT taper thread, so it mates with any 3/8 inch NPT black pipe, nipple, or fitting. Use pipe dope or PTFE tape on the taper threads as you would on any NPT joint.
2) Can I use a black malleable iron street elbow on a gas line?
Black malleable iron 90 street ells of this type are the standard fitting for black iron gas piping, and this one is built to ASTM A-197 malleable iron with ASME B16.3 dimensions and pressure ratings and NPT threads per ASME B1.20.1. Black fittings are not for potable water service, where the lack of a protective coating leads to rust. Always confirm the fitting class against the gas pressure on your drawing and your local code.
3) Is this 3/8 inch street ell UL listed and FM approved for fire protection work?
It carries UL/FM recognition, which is what an inspector looks for on fire sprinkler and life safety piping. The fitting is 3/8 inch on both ends, so in a sprinkler system it belongs on gauge lines, drain trim, and small accessory connections rather than on branch lines.
4) Should I use a street elbow or an elbow plus a close nipple?
Go with the street ell when space is tight or you want fewer joints. Its male NPT end screws straight into the female port, replacing an elbow and a close nipple with one fitting and cutting two threaded joints down to one. Use a standard female-by-female elbow instead when both sides of the turn are pipe ends or male-threaded nipples.
