ASC Engineered Solutions 310050000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three port sizes on the ASC Engineered Solutions 310050000 black malleable iron tee?
It's a reducing tee with one 2 inch port and two 1-1/2 inch ports, all female pipe thread. So the run or branch you land on 2 inch pipe gets the single large opening, and the two remaining connections take 1-1/2 inch threaded pipe or nipples. No bushings needed if that's your size step.
2) Will this malleable iron tee thread onto standard NPT pipe?
Yes. All three openings are FPT cut to ASME B1.20.1, which is the standard American taper pipe thread spec, so it mates with any NPT threaded steel or iron pipe and nipples in the matching sizes. Dope or tape the male threads as usual.
3) Can I use a black malleable iron tee on a fire sprinkler line?
This 2 x 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 tee is UL/FM listed, which is the approval fire protection inspectors look for on sprinkler piping. It is standard weight (STD) with pressure ratings per ASME B16.3. Black iron is the usual choice for wet sprinkler mains and branch lines.
4) Is black iron pipe fitting OK for water supply or only gas?
Black malleable iron is used for natural gas, fuel oil, compressed air, and fire sprinkler service. It is not for potable water, because the uncoated iron corrodes and will rust the line. Use galvanized, copper, or CPVC on domestic water. This fitting has a black finish with no protective coating.
5) What material standard does this ASC tee meet?
The casting is malleable iron to ASTM A-197, with dimensions and pressure class per ASME B16.3, and threads per ASME B1.20.1. That combination is what a mechanical spec normally calls out for threaded black iron fittings, so it drops straight into a drawing citing B16.3 Class 150 standard weight.
6) Do I need a reducer if I'm branching 1-1/2 inch off a 2 inch line?
Not with this fitting. The reduction is built in: 2 inch on one end, 1-1/2 inch on the other two, so you cut it into the 2 inch run and thread your 1-1/2 inch branch straight in. You would only need separate bushings if your actual branch size differs from 1-1/2 inch.
