ASC Engineered Solutions 310085006 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the ASC 3/8 x 1/4 black malleable iron reducer have female threads on both ends?
Both ends are FPT, so the reducer threads onto male pipe ends or nipples on each side. The larger end takes 3/8 inch pipe, the smaller takes 1/4 inch. If you need a male-to-female step, a reducing bushing is the fitting to use instead, not this coupling-style reducer.
2) Will this black iron reducer thread onto standard NPT pipe?
Yes. The threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, which is the standard NPT taper thread spec, so it mates with ordinary black pipe and nipples threaded to the same standard. Dope or tape the joint as usual for a sealed taper thread.
3) Can I use a black malleable iron reducer on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, air, and non-potable service such as steam, oil, and fire protection piping. The black finish is an uncoated mill finish that corrodes in wet potable service. For water lines use galvanized or a copper/CPVC/PEX system instead.
4) What material spec does this 3/8 x 1/4 reducer meet?
The casting is malleable iron to ASTM A-197, the standard grade for cupola malleable iron threaded fittings. That is the spec to quote when a submittal asks for material certification on black iron fittings.
5) What part number do I order for the ASC 3/8 x 1/4 black reducer?
Order manufacturer part number 310085006 from ASC Engineered Solutions. It is a single configuration, 3/8 inch to 1/4 inch, black finish, standard pattern, with no finish or size options to specify.
