ASC Engineered Solutions 311091003 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the ASC 3 x 2 galvanized malleable iron reducer have female threads on both ends?
Both ends are female pipe thread (FPT), so the reducing coupling threads onto male pipe or male-threaded nipples at each end. It takes 3 inch pipe on the large end and 2 inch on the small end. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the standard NPT thread spec, so it mates with any standard NPT pipe or nipple of those sizes.
2) Can I use this galvanized malleable iron reducer on a fire sprinkler line?
It carries UL/FM approval, which is what a fire protection inspector looks for on fittings in a sprinkler system. It is standard weight malleable iron to ASTM A-197 with pressure ratings per ASME B16.3. Confirm the pressure class on your drawing matches standard weight before installing.
3) Will this ASC reducer match the dimensions of the malleable fitting I am replacing?
Dimensionally it is built to ASME B16.3, the standard for malleable iron threaded fittings, so the face to face length and thread engagement match any other B16.3 standard weight 3 x 2 reducing coupling. Swapping one brand for another in the same size and class does not change your pipe cut lengths.
4) Do I need thread sealant or tape with this reducer, or does it seal on its own?
NPT threads seal on the taper, not on a gasket, so you still need pipe dope or PTFE tape on the male threads going into it. Nothing is supplied with the fitting. The threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, so any standard NPT sealant rated for your service is fine.
5) How heavy is the 3 x 2 galvanized reducer for shipping or overhead work?
It weighs 3.38 lbs. Worth knowing if you are setting several of these overhead on threaded rod hangers or pricing out a large fitting order by weight.
