ASC Engineered Solutions 310037007 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size are the three openings on the ASC 1/2 x 1/2 x 3/8 black malleable iron tee?
Two of the three openings are 1/2 inch and the third (the branch) is 3/8 inch. All three are female pipe thread, so it takes male-threaded pipe nipples on every port. It's a reducing tee: run 1/2 inch straight through, drop down to 3/8 inch on the outlet.
2) Can I use a black malleable iron tee on a sprinkler line?
This one carries a UL/FM listing, which is what an inspector looks for on fire protection piping. It's Class 150 standard pattern malleable iron to ASME B16.3 for both dimensions and pressure rating. Black iron is the usual material for wet sprinkler and black steel pipe systems.
3) Is a black iron tee OK for potable water or underground use?
No. Black malleable iron is uncoated and will corrode in wet or buried service. It's meant for gas, air, and black steel pipe systems such as sprinkler and low pressure steam. For potable water use brass or copper, and for damp or exposed runs use the galvanized version of the same fitting.
4) What does STD strength mean on a malleable iron fitting?
STD is the standard pattern, Class 150 wall, as opposed to the heavier extra-heavy Class 300 pattern. Both dimensions and pressure rating follow ASME B16.3. If your drawing calls for Class 300 or extra-heavy fittings, this is not the right one.
5) Will this reducing tee match the other malleable iron fittings already on my run?
It should. Face-to-center dimensions are built to ASME B16.3, the same standard other black malleable iron fittings are made to, so it lays out interchangeably with banded elbows, couplings and tees from other makers on the same run. The iron itself is ASTM A-197.
6) Which port on a 1/2 x 1/2 x 3/8 tee is the 3/8?
The reading order is run, run, branch: the first two sizes are the straight-through run at 1/2 inch, and the last size listed, 3/8 inch, is the branch outlet. So you keep 1/2 inch pipe going through and tap off a 3/8 inch drop, gauge, or instrument connection.
7) What is the manufacturer part number for this ASC reducing tee?
ASC Engineered Solutions part number 310037007, the 1/2 x 1/2 x 3/8 black malleable iron tee.
8) How much does one of these 1/2 inch black iron reducing tees weigh for freight?
About 0.3 lbs each. Useful if you're pricing out a carton of them for a job.
