Constructed from malleable iron with a flat banded design, this fitting is built to handle the mechanical stress of threaded pipe systems. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-521F, ANSI B-16.3 for dimensions, ANSI B-2.1 for pipe threads, and ASTM A-197 for chemical and physical properties. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting where a directional change and a pipe size reduction are required in the same connection point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elbow is suited for residential and light commercial black iron pipe installations, including gas distribution lines and general plumbing applications where malleable iron fittings are specified. The reducing configuration eliminates the need for a separate bushing, making it a practical choice in tight or congested pipe runs where a direction change and size transition must occur simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90-degree turn with built-in reduction from 1\/2 inch to 3\/8 inch in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction with flat banded body for durability and machinability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM A-197 requirements for chemical and physical properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually — unit of measure is each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard threaded black iron pipe systems using NPT connections in accordance with ANSI B-2.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements when used on gas lines. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before beginning any fitting work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the service fluid before making up the connection. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as malleable iron can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat Banded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 Degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B-2.1 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensional Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B-16.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A-197\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFederal Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: WW-P-521F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.21 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00690291023170\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 8700124509\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344100688178,"sku":"8700124509","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547269.jpg?v=1782029283","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-8700124509-1-2x3-8-in-90-deg-reducing-black-iron-elbow","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
