ASC Engineered Solutions 310045604 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size openings does the ASC 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1 black malleable iron tee have?
It is a reducing tee: both run ends are 1-1/2 inch and the branch outlet is 1 inch. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), so it takes male-threaded pipe nipples or male adapters on every port. Use it where you need to pull a 1 inch branch off a 1-1/2 inch line without adding a separate bushing.
2) Is this malleable iron tee approved for fire sprinkler piping?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it is acceptable for fire protection piping where a listed fitting is required. It is a standard (STD) class malleable iron fitting made to ASME B16.3 for both dimensions and pressure rating.
3) Can I use a black malleable iron tee on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is the uncoated version and is meant for gas, air, steam, fire protection and other non-potable service. On domestic water it will rust. For water use a galvanized malleable fitting, copper, or CPVC instead.
4) What material and grade is this ASC tee, and does it meet spec on a drawing calling for ASME B16.3?
The casting is malleable iron to ASTM A-197, with dimensions and pressure class to ASME B16.3, standard weight. That is the normal callout on a commercial gas or sprinkler drawing for threaded malleable fittings, so it will satisfy an ASME B16.3 specification.
5) Do I need a bushing to drop from 1-1/2 inch down to 1 inch with this fitting?
No bushing needed. The branch is cast at 1 inch, so you thread a 1 inch nipple straight into the outlet. A bushing would only be required if you were using a straight 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 tee, and it adds a joint and a restriction you do not want on a gas or sprinkler run.
6) How much does this 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1 malleable tee weigh?
1.45 lbs each. Worth knowing when you are hanging a long threaded run and sizing supports, or estimating a pallet of fittings for a job.
7) What is the ASC part number for the 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1 black malleable tee?
ASC Engineered Solutions model 310045604. Give that number when you need to match an existing submittal or reorder the same reducing tee.
