ASC Engineered Solutions 311000608 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread type are the ends on the ASC 3/8 galvanized malleable iron 90 degree elbow?
Both ends are 3/8 inch female pipe thread (FPT), so it takes 3/8 inch male-threaded pipe nipples or MPT fittings on each side. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the standard NPT tapered thread spec, so it mates with any standard 3/8 inch NPT pipe.
2) Can I use a galvanized malleable iron elbow on a wet sprinkler or water line outdoors?
The galvanizing here is a hot dip coating done to ASTM A-153, which is the spec for zinc coating on iron hardware and gives it the corrosion resistance wanted in wet, damp, or exposed runs. The body itself is malleable iron to ASTM A-197. For potable water, note this is a galvanized iron fitting, not brass or a lead-free rated fitting.
3) Will a galvanized fitting interchange with black iron fittings on the same 3/8 line?
Dimensionally yes, because both are cut to the same ASME B1.20.1 NPT thread and built to ASME B16.3, so a 3/8 galvanized 90 threads onto black pipe without issue. The reason to keep them separate is corrosion, not fit: mixing galvanized and black on a wet line puts dissimilar coatings in contact. Match the fitting to whatever the rest of the run is.
4) What does STD strength mean on this malleable iron 90, and is there a heavier version?
STD means standard pattern, the Class 150 style wall thickness covered by ASME B16.3 for threaded malleable iron. It is the everyday choice for gas, air, and water piping. If your drawing calls for extra heavy, that is a different, thicker pattern fitting and this one will not satisfy that callout.
5) Does this elbow change direction 90 degrees with both ends the same size?
It is a straight 90 degree elbow with 3/8 inch female threads on both ends, so it turns a corner without changing pipe size. If you need to step down or up at the turn, you want a reducing elbow or a 3/8 elbow plus a bushing, not this one.
6) What is the part number and weight for the ASC 3/8 galvanized 90 elbow?
The manufacturer part number is 311000608, and each fitting weighs 0.17 lbs. That weight is worth having when you are pricing a bulk box or figuring hanger loading on a branch of small threaded pipe.
