ASC Engineered Solutions 310519400 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size outlets does the ASC Engineered Solutions black malleable iron tee have?
It's a reducing tee: two 1/2 inch openings on the run and a 3/8 inch branch outlet. Use it where you're running 1/2 inch pipe and need to drop down to a 3/8 inch takeoff, such as a gauge, drain, or small drop line, without adding a separate bushing.
2) Are all three openings on this 1/2 x 1/2 x 3/8 tee female threaded?
All three ends are FPT, so every opening takes male pipe thread. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1 (NPT), which means it mates with standard threaded steel or brass pipe and nipples of the matching size. Nothing here is sweat, press, or grooved.
3) Can I use this black malleable iron tee on a fire sprinkler line?
It carries a UL/FM listing, which is what an inspector looks for on fire protection piping. The fitting is malleable iron with FPT ends and dimensions to ASME B16.3, so it lands in a threaded sprinkler branch line the same way any listed black iron tee does. Final acceptance still comes down to your approved sprinkler drawings.
4) Will this tee interchange with another brand's 1/2 x 1/2 x 3/8 malleable iron tee?
Dimensionally, yes. The fitting is built to ASME B16.3, which fixes center-to-end dimensions and thread engagement for malleable iron threaded fittings, so it takes up the same space in the run as any other B16.3 tee of the same size combination. Threads follow ASME B1.20.1, so nipples already cut for the old fitting thread in without change.
5) How do I order the right ASC reducing tee, and which opening is the 3/8?
Order by the sequence 1/2 x 1/2 x 3/8: the first two figures are the run, the last is the branch outlet. This one is ASC Engineered Solutions part 310519400. If you need the 3/8 on the run instead of the branch, that is a different fitting number, so read the size string before you order.
