Manufactured to ASTM A-197 specifications, this coupling features female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ends conforming to ASME B1.20.1 thread standards. Pressure rating meets ASME B16.3 requirements. At 5.45 pounds, this is a substantial fitting built for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on black iron pipe systems will find this coupling appropriate for gas, water, and mechanical piping runs where XH-rated fittings are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical systems requiring extra-heavy wall fittings. XH-rated malleable iron couplings are commonly installed in high-pressure or high-demand piping systems, including gas distribution, compressed air, fire suppression, and industrial process lines. The black finish makes it a standard choice for gas piping installations where galvanized fittings are not required or preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra-heavy (XH) strength rating for demanding pressure applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth ends threaded FPT per ASME B1.20.1 for standard NPT pipe compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction to ASTM A-197 for durability and machinability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure rating per ASME B16.3 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL and FM listed for use in approved piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas and mechanical piping installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2.5-inch threaded black iron pipe systems where ASME B16.3 extra-heavy malleable iron couplings are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up threaded connections. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FPT x FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: XH (Extra Heavy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A-197\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B1.20.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B16.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.45 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUL\/FM Listed\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 310539804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51267927081266,"sku":"0310539804","price":445.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308912946.jpg?v=1780694652","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-310539804-2-5-in-xh-black-malleable-iron-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
