Asc Engineered Solutions 310543608 Malleable Iron Reducer

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 310543608 is a threaded black malleable iron reducer designed to connect piping of two different diameters in a variety of mechanical systems. It transitions from a 1-1/4 inch female thread on the larger end to a 1/2 inch female thread on the smaller end. Built to Schedule 80 Class 300 standards, this fitting is suited for higher-pressure applications where a standard-weight fitting would not be appropriate. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This reducer is used in residential and commercial plumbing, steam, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems where a reduction in line size is required at a threaded connection point. The malleable iron construction and black finish make it a standard choice for steam and gas piping installations. Its threaded ends allow for straightforward assembly without specialized tooling beyond a pipe wrench and thread sealant.

Key Features

• Threaded connections on both ends for tool-ready installation
• Black malleable iron construction suitable for steam and gas service
• Schedule 80 Class 300 pressure rating for higher-demand applications
• 1-1/4 inches to 1/2 inches reduction for common pipe size transitions
• Compact, durable design for long service life in mechanical piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded black malleable iron piping systems operating within Schedule 80 Class 300 pressure ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before installing or replacing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the fitting or damage threads.
