ASC Engineered Solutions 310056403 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size outlets does the ASC 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 3 black malleable iron tee have?
It's a bull-head (reducing) tee: the two run ends are 2-1/2 inch and the branch outlet is 3 inch, so the branch is larger than the run. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), cut to ASME B1.20.1 NPT threads. If you need the branch smaller than the run, this is not the fitting.
2) Is this ASC tee acceptable for a fire sprinkler line?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it is acceptable where the fire protection spec calls for UL Listed and FM Approved threaded malleable iron fittings. It's the standard 150 (STD) class black malleable iron tee, built to ASME B16.3 for dimensions and pressure rating.
3) Can I use a black malleable iron tee on a domestic water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for non-potable service, typically gas, fire protection, compressed air, and steam or hydronic lines. For potable water on threaded pipe, use a galvanized or brass fitting instead. The black finish on this 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 3 tee is a mill coating, not a corrosion barrier for wet potable service.
4) How heavy is a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 3 malleable iron tee, and do I need to support it?
The fitting alone weighs 5.82 lbs before any pipe is hung off it. On a 3 inch branch takeoff that's enough mass to warrant a hanger close to the tee rather than relying on the run to carry it, especially on overhead work.
5) What is the part number for the ASC Engineered Solutions 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 3 black tee?
Order it as ASC Engineered Solutions model 310056403. That's the black malleable iron reducing tee with 2-1/2 inch run and 3 inch branch, all female NPT.
