ASC Engineered Solutions 310052600 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size outlets does the ASC Engineered Solutions 310052600 black malleable iron tee have?
It's a reducing tee with a 2-1/2 inch run (both ends) and a 1-1/2 inch branch. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), so it takes threaded pipe or nipples on every port, no welding or grooving.
2) Is this black iron tee approved for fire sprinkler piping?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it can be used on fire protection piping where the authority having jurisdiction requires listed fittings. It's a standard (STD) class malleable iron fitting with pressure ratings per ASME B16.3.
3) Can I use a black malleable iron tee on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, air, steam, fire protection and other non-potable service. The black finish has no corrosion protection against water, so for potable lines use galvanized, copper, or CPVC instead. This tee is a black finish malleable iron fitting.
4) Is this the right fitting to branch a 1-1/2 inch line off a 2-1/2 inch main?
That's exactly what it does. The straight run stays 2-1/2 inch through both ends and the branch drops to 1-1/2 inch, so you tie into the main without a separate bushing or reducer at the outlet. All three connections are female threaded.
5) Does this ASC tee meet ASME B16.3 dimensions for a spec job?
Yes. Dimensions and pressure class both follow ASME B16.3, the malleable iron threaded fittings standard, and the castings are made to ASTM A-197. If the drawing calls for Class 150 standard malleable iron threaded fittings to B16.3, this meets that callout.
6) What's the difference between a standard and extra heavy malleable iron tee?
This one is standard class (STD), rated per ASME B16.3 for ordinary gas, air and fire protection service. Extra heavy (XH) malleable fittings have thicker walls and a higher pressure class for high-pressure or steam work. If your spec calls out extra heavy or Class 300, this standard fitting won't satisfy it.
