ASC Engineered Solutions 310093406 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the 5 x 4 black malleable iron reducer threaded on both ends?
Both ends are female pipe thread (FPT), 5 inch on the large end and 4 inch on the small end. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the NPT standard, so it mates with standard threaded black steel pipe and nipples of those sizes. There is no welded or grooved end on it.
2) Can I use this black malleable iron reducer on a wet sprinkler system?
It carries UL/FM approval, which is what a fire protection inspector looks for on a threaded fitting in a sprinkler main. It is a standard (STD) class malleable iron fitting to ASME B16.3 for both dimensions and pressure rating. Black finish is the normal choice for wet and dry sprinkler piping rather than galvanized.
3) Is this reducer suitable for potable water lines?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, fire protection, compressed air, and similar non-potable service. Black iron corrodes in potable water, so for domestic water you want galvanized, copper, brass, or CPVC instead. The black finish here is the giveaway.
4) What material spec does this ASC reducer meet for a submittal?
Malleable iron to ASTM A-197, with dimensions and pressure class per ASME B16.3 and threads per ASME B1.20.1. It is standard (STD) class, black finish, and UL/FM approved. That set of callouts is usually what a mechanical submittal on threaded black iron asks for.
5) Is a standard class malleable iron fitting strong enough, or do I need extra heavy?
This one is STD class, rated to the ASME B16.3 pressure tables for standard malleable iron. That covers typical fire protection, low pressure steam, gas, and compressed air work. If your drawing calls for a 300 class or extra heavy fitting, a STD reducer is not a substitute and you need the heavier pattern.
6) What is the ASC part number for the 5 x 4 black reducer?
Order it as ASC Engineered Solutions model 310093406, the 5 x 4 black malleable iron reducer. That is the number to quote if you are matching a previous purchase or standardizing a stockroom bin.
