ASC Engineered Solutions 310510409 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe does a 3/8 inch black malleable iron 45 degree elbow thread onto?
Both ends are 3/8 inch female pipe thread (FPT), cut to ASME B1.20.1 NPT. It screws directly onto standard 3/8 inch threaded black steel or black iron pipe nipples. No adapters needed as long as your pipe is NPT male.
2) Can I use a black malleable iron 45 elbow on a water line?
Black malleable iron is for gas, air, steam, and dry service. It is not the fitting for potable or wet water lines, where it will rust from the inside. For water you want galvanized malleable iron or a different material entirely. The black finish here is the plain uncoated iron, not a coating.
3) What material spec does this ASC 45 degree elbow meet for a submittal?
Casting is to ASTM A-197 malleable iron, dimensions and pressure class to ASME B16.3, threads to ASME B1.20.1. Those three are what a mechanical submittal or a gas piping inspection normally asks for on a threaded iron fitting.
4) When should I use a 45 degree elbow instead of two 90s in a 3/8 inch black iron run?
A 45 gets you an offset around an obstruction with far less pressure drop than stacking 90s, and it keeps the run shorter. Two 45s back to back are the normal way to jog a gas or air line past a beam or another pipe. Use a 90 when you need a true square turn. Both ends here are 3/8 FPT, so you thread in a short nipple between the pair.
5) Do I need thread sealant with this fitting, and can I use it on natural gas?
The NPT threads here are tapered to ASME B1.20.1 and seal on the thread, so they still need a sealant. On gas, use a pipe dope or tape rated for the fuel gas you are running. The fitting itself is black malleable iron, the standard material for threaded gas piping.
6) What is the part number and weight on the ASC 3/8 XH black 45 elbow?
Manufacturer part number is 310510409, and each fitting weighs 0.28 lbs. Handy if you are calculating hanger loads or freight on a bulk order of them.
