Asc 300011806 Black Cast Iron Reducing 90 Elbow 1/2x3/8

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 300011806 is a black cast iron reducing 90-degree elbow designed for low-pressure piping systems in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical applications. This domestically produced fitting transitions from a 1/2-inch pipe to a 3/8-inch pipe while changing direction at a right angle. The black coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for natural gas and air lines. Cast iron construction delivers the durability and thread integrity required in threaded pipe assemblies. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors typically specify this fitting when routing gas supply lines or low-pressure air systems.

This reducing elbow fits standard threaded pipe installations where a direction change and size reduction occur at the same connection point. It is commonly used in residential and light commercial gas piping, compressed air distribution, and water service applications. The 1/2-inch by 3/8-inch configuration is a frequently encountered reduction in branch supply runs and appliance connections.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle change and size reduction in a single fitting
• Cast iron construction for threaded pipe durability
• Black coating suited for gas and air service
• Domestically produced fitting
• 1/2-inch inlet by 3/8-inch outlet configuration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for standard NPT-threaded black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor following applicable local codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all threaded connections. Do not overtighten cast iron fittings; excessive torque can crack the casting.
