Asc Engineered Solutions 500070701 Extension Piece 3/8 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 500070701 is a malleable iron extension piece designed to extend threaded pipe runs in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. At 3/8 inch in size, this fitting provides a reliable threaded connection point where additional length is needed along a pipe assembly. The black finish indicates a standard black malleable iron construction, suitable for low-pressure gas, air, and water piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting as part of a larger pipe assembly or repair. It weighs 0.20 pounds and is built to the dimensional standards expected of malleable iron threaded fittings.

This extension piece is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a 3/8 inch threaded extension is required. Common applications include natural gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and water supply piping. The fitting threads onto standard NPT pipe and fittings, making it a practical component in both new construction and retrofit work. It is most commonly installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians working on piping systems that require precise length adjustments within a threaded assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
