ASC Engineered Solutions 310516000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are all three openings on the ASC 1/2 inch black malleable iron tee the same size?
Yes, it's a straight 1/2 inch tee. All three outlets are 1/2 inch female pipe thread, so the run and the branch are the same size. If you need to step the branch down or up, you want a reducing tee rather than this one.
2) What does XH mean on a black malleable iron tee, and when do I need it instead of standard?
XH is extra heavy, meaning a thicker wall and a higher pressure rating than a standard (150) class fitting of the same size. Pressure ratings follow ASME B16.3. Use extra heavy where the system pressure or mechanical loading exceeds what standard class handles; for ordinary low pressure gas or air runs, standard 150 class black malleable is the usual choice. The extra wall also means more thread engagement, which some inspectors prefer on higher pressure work.
3) Can I use a black malleable iron tee on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is uncoated and will rust in water service. It's used for natural gas and propane piping, compressed air, fire sprinkler steel pipe, and structural or pipe-rail assemblies. For domestic water you'd go to galvanized malleable, brass, copper, or PEX fittings instead.
4) What part number do I order for the ASC 1/2 inch extra heavy black malleable tee?
The manufacturer part number is 310516000 from ASC Engineered Solutions. Give that number when matching to an existing submittal or reordering to keep the same extra heavy class on the job.
5) How heavy is a 1/2 inch extra heavy malleable tee for freight or stocking counts?
Each tee is 0.65 lbs. Handy if you're pricing out a bulk order or figuring hanger loads on a threaded assembly with several fittings in it.
