Malleable-Iron Threaded Fittings
Malleable-iron fittings are also extensively produced. They are generally made with threaded joints. Malleable-iron threaded fittings for Classes 150 and 300 are standardized in ASME B16.3. The standard specifies the same attributes for Class 150 and 300 fittings as discussed under ASME B16.4 for gray-iron fittings. The fittings are available in a variety of configurations from NPS 1⁄₈ (DN 3) through NPS 6 (DN 150). The pressure-temperature ratings of these fittings are listed in Table A2.3. As with cast-iron fittings, the ratings are independent of the contained fluid and are maximum non shock pressures at the listed temperatures. Malleable iron fittings are furnished black, galvanized, or as otherwise ordered by the buyer. The galvanized threaded fittings commonly used in water piping for homes are Class 150 malleable iron. Minimum properties of malleable iron are required to meet ASTM A197 Cupola Malleable Iron requirements. The fittings are threaded with ASME B1.20.1 pipe threads.
