ASC Engineered Solutions 311047005 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three outlet sizes on this ASC galvanized malleable iron reducing tee?
It's a 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 x 1/2 inch reducing tee. The run takes 1-1/2 inch on one end and 1-1/4 inch on the other, with a 1/2 inch branch off the side. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), so it threads onto male-threaded pipe nipples, not slip or sweat connections.
2) Will this tee thread onto standard black or galvanized steel pipe nipples?
Yes. The threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, which is standard NPT taper pipe thread, so it mates with any NPT male-threaded steel pipe or nipple in the matching size. Use pipe dope or PTFE tape on the taper threads to seal.
3) Is a galvanized malleable iron tee OK for a wet sprinkler system or damp location?
The galvanized coating is applied to ASTM A-153, the hot-dip spec for hardware, which is what gives it corrosion resistance in wet and damp service. The body itself is malleable iron to ASTM A-197. For potable water lines, check your local code, since galvanized steel piping is restricted in many jurisdictions.
4) Will this reducing tee interchange with another brand's malleable iron tee of the same size?
Dimensionally, yes. Face-to-center and thread engagement are set by ASME B16.3, so a 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 x 1/2 standard malleable iron tee from any manufacturer built to that standard drops into the same takeout. Just match the class, standard against standard, and the galvanized finish if the rest of the run is galvanized.
5) Do I need a bushing to get a 1/2 inch branch off a 1-1/2 inch line?
Not with this fitting. The reduction is built into the tee, 1-1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch on the run and 1/2 inch on the branch, so you skip the reducing bushing and the extra leak path it adds. Each opening is female thread, so you still need male-threaded nipples or pipe ends at all three ports.
6) How much does this 1-1/2 inch malleable iron tee weigh for shipping and hanger sizing?
1.1 lbs each. Light enough that a single fitting adds little to hanger load, but worth counting when you're pricing a pallet of them for a large run.
