Asc 310007604 Black Malleable Iron Reducing 90 Elbow 1/2x1/4

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 310007604 is a black malleable iron reducing 90-degree elbow designed for threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and HVAC applications. The fitting transitions from a 1/2-inch inlet to a 1/4-inch outlet while making a 90-degree directional change in a single fitting, reducing the need for additional reducers in tight runs. The black coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for gas and air lines. At 0.19 pounds, this is a compact, durable fitting manufactured domestically to standard malleable iron fitting specifications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of threaded fitting.

This reducing elbow is suited for low-pressure gas piping, compressed air distribution, and general-purpose pipe systems where a direction change and size reduction are needed at the same connection point. Its 1/2-inch by 1/4-inch configuration is common in branch takeoffs and appliance supply connections. The domestic manufacture designation indicates this fitting is produced in the United States, meeting requirements for projects with domestic-content specifications.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to cracking under mechanical stress
• Black coating suited for gas lines and non-potable applications
• Reducing configuration changes both direction and pipe size in one fitting
• 90-degree elbow allows perpendicular directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• Domestically manufactured for projects with domestic-content requirements
• Lightweight at 0.19 pounds for easy handling in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard trade fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas applications, or IPC requirements for plumbing applications. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to a firm, leak-free connection using pipe wrenches. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as cracking can result from excessive torque.
