ASC Engineered Solutions 310037601 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three port sizes on the ASC Engineered Solutions 1/2 x 3/8 x 3/8 black malleable iron tee?
The run is 1/2 inch on one end and 3/8 inch on the other, with a 3/8 inch branch. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), so it takes male threaded pipe or nipples on every port. It's a reducing tee, which means you can step 1/2 inch pipe down to 3/8 inch and take a 3/8 inch branch off in one fitting instead of using a straight tee plus two bushings.
2) Will this black malleable iron tee thread onto standard black steel pipe?
Yes. The threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the NPT standard used on black and galvanized steel pipe and nipples, so it mates with any standard threaded pipe of the matching size. Use pipe dope or PTFE tape on the male threads as usual.
3) Is this tee approved for use on a fire sprinkler system?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it's acceptable on fire protection piping where UL Listed or FM Approved fittings are required. It's a standard (STD) weight malleable iron fitting rated per ASME B16.3.
4) Can I use a black malleable iron tee on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is the uncoated finish, meant for gas, air, steam, and fire protection service, not potable water, where the bare iron will rust. For water lines use a galvanized fitting or another corrosion resistant material. This one is black finish malleable iron to ASTM A-197.
5) What standard does this ASC reducing tee meet for dimensions, so I know it matches the fittings already on my job?
Dimensions follow ASME B16.3, the standard for threaded malleable iron fittings. Any other B16.3 fitting of the same size and class has the same center-to-end lay length, so it drops into an existing run without re-measuring nipples.
6) Is this a Class 150 standard weight fitting or an extra heavy one?
It's standard weight (STD), rated per ASME B16.3. Extra heavy malleable iron fittings are a separate class with thicker walls and a higher pressure rating; if your spec calls for extra heavy, this one won't satisfy it.
7) What is the part number and weight of this ASC black iron reducing tee for my submittal?
Manufacturer part number 310037601, ASC Engineered Solutions, 1/2 x 3/8 x 3/8 black malleable iron tee. Unit weight is 0.28 lbs, which matters if you're pricing freight on a large fitting count.
