ASC Engineered Solutions 311052609 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size outlets does the ASC Engineered Solutions galvanized malleable iron reducing tee have?
It's a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 inch reducing tee. The run is 2-1/2 inch on both ends and the branch outlet reduces to 1-1/2 inch, so you can take a smaller line off a 2-1/2 inch main without adding a bushing. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT).
2) Will this tee thread onto standard black or galvanized steel pipe?
Yes. All three connections are female NPT cut to ASME B1.20.1, the standard US pipe thread spec, so it screws directly onto any threaded steel pipe of the matching size. Galvanized pipe is the usual match for a galvanized fitting like this one.
3) Is this fitting approved for a fire sprinkler system?
The tee is UL/FM listed, which is what an inspector looks for on sprinkler piping. It's standard weight (STD) malleable iron, hot dip galvanized, with threaded ends, which is the common configuration for wet and dry sprinkler branch lines.
4) Is this galvanized tee suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
The galvanizing is done to ASTM A-153, the hot dip spec for hardware, so it holds up outdoors, in damp mechanical rooms, and on dry sprinkler systems where condensation is a concern better than a plain black fitting. The casting itself is malleable iron to ASTM A-197.
5) Will this tee interchange with another brand's 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 malleable iron tee?
Dimensionally, yes. The fitting is made to ASME B16.3, which fixes center-to-end and center-to-face dimensions for threaded malleable iron fittings, so a same size B16.3 tee from any maker takes up the same space in the run. Pressure rating is governed by the same standard.
6) Can I use this fitting on gas or compressed air lines, not just water?
Standard weight threaded malleable iron to ASME B16.3 is the common fitting class for water, steam, air and gas service lines in commercial buildings. Pressure limits come from the B16.3 rating for standard class at the working temperature, so match that rating to your system pressure before you pipe it in.
