Asc Engineered Solutions 310545009 Malleable Iron Reducer

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 310545009 is a black malleable iron reducing pipe fitting designed to connect a 2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) to a 1-inch FPT in threaded piping systems. Built to Extra Heavy (XH) strength classification, this reducer handles demanding pressure applications in commercial and industrial installations. The fitting meets ASME B16.3 dimensional and pressure rating standards and ASME B1.20.1 thread specifications, and it is UL and FM listed for use in fire protection and mechanical systems. At 2.54 pounds, it is a solid, durable fitting ready for field installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This reducer is suited for plumbing, fire suppression, and mechanical piping systems where a threaded step-down from 2-inch to 1-inch pipe is required. The black finish is standard for gas and fire protection piping. Extra Heavy construction makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service conditions in commercial and light industrial settings where standard-weight fittings are not rated for the application.

Key Features

• Extra Heavy (XH) strength rating for high-pressure piping service
• Both ends are female pipe thread (FPT) per ASME B1.20.1
• Malleable iron construction per ASTM A-197
• Dimensional and pressure rating compliance with ASME B16.3
• UL and FM listed for fire protection system use
• Black finish suitable for gas and fire suppression piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded reducer for 2-inch to 1-inch FPT malleable iron pipe fitting applications in plumbing, gas, and fire protection piping systems where ASME B16.3 Extra Heavy fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. De-pressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Do not over-torque; use a pipe wrench sized appropriately for 2-inch fittings and follow joint makeup turns per ASME B1.20.1 practice.
