ASC Engineered Solutions 310091004 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the ASC 3 x 2 black malleable iron reducer have female threads on both ends?
Both ends are female pipe thread (FPT), so the fitting threads onto male pipe ends or nipples on each side. The 3 inch end takes 3 inch NPT male, the 2 inch end takes 2 inch NPT male. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the standard NPT taper thread spec, so it mates with any standard NPT pipe or nipple.
2) Can I use this 3x2 malleable iron reducer on a fire sprinkler line?
It carries a UL/FM listing, which is what an AHJ looks for on fire protection piping. It is standard weight (STD) malleable iron built to ASME B16.3 for both dimensions and pressure rating. Black malleable is the usual choice for wet sprinkler systems; galvanized is typically specified for dry systems.
3) Is black malleable iron OK for potable water?
No. This reducer is black (uncoated) malleable iron, which is used on gas, wet fire sprinkler, steam, and air lines. Black iron is not used on potable water because it rusts; for domestic water you want copper, CPVC, PEX, or galvanized depending on the local code.
4) Is this a Class 150 standard weight fitting or extra heavy?
Standard weight (STD), rated per ASME B16.3, which is the Class 150 malleable iron fitting standard. If your drawing calls for Class 300 extra heavy malleable, this is not the right part.
5) What material spec does this ASC reducer meet for a submittal?
Castings meet ASTM A-197 malleable iron, dimensions and pressure rating meet ASME B16.3, and threads meet ASME B1.20.1. Order it by ASC Engineered Solutions part number 310091004. Those four items are what a submittal reviewer usually asks for on malleable fittings.
6) Do I need thread sealant with this fitting?
Yes. The threads are NPT taper per ASME B1.20.1, and NPT joints seal on the thread flanks, so pipe dope or PTFE tape rated for the service (gas-rated dope for fuel gas) goes on the male threads. Nothing is included with the fitting.
