ASC Engineered Solutions 310049804 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three port sizes on the ASC 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 black malleable iron tee?
It's a reducing tee: the two run ends are 2 inch and the branch is 1-1/2 inch. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), so it takes threaded pipe or nipples on every port with no adapters needed.
2) Will this malleable iron tee thread onto standard NPT pipe?
Yes. The threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, which is the standard NPT taper pipe thread spec, so it mates with ordinary threaded black steel pipe and nipples of the same size.
3) Is this tee acceptable for a fire sprinkler branch line?
It carries UL/FM approval, which is what an AHJ looks for on fire protection piping. It is a standard-pattern (STD) black malleable iron threaded fitting to ASME B16.3, the usual construction for threaded sprinkler branch lines. Confirm the working pressure your sprinkler drawing calls for against the B16.3 standard-class rating.
4) Can I use a black malleable iron tee on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, fire protection, compressed air, and closed-loop hydronic heating. It has no corrosion-resistant coating and will rust in potable water service. For potable water use galvanized malleable iron, brass, or copper fittings instead.
5) What material spec does this ASC black tee meet?
The casting is ASTM A-197 malleable iron, with dimensions and pressure class to ASME B16.3. That combination is what most mechanical specs and plan-and-spec submittals call out for threaded black iron fittings, so it will typically satisfy the fitting line on the drawing without a substitution request.
6) How heavy is a 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 black iron tee for hanger and support planning?
The fitting weighs 2.24 lbs on its own. Add that to the filled weight of the pipe runs when you're spacing hangers near the branch, since a reducing tee with a nipple and valve hanging off it concentrates load at one point.
7) What is the ASC Engineered Solutions part number for this reducing tee?
Order it as ASC Engineered Solutions model 310049804, a 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 black malleable iron tee. That single MPN covers the fitting; there are no finish or size options to pick on it.
8) Does this tee come with any sealant or does it need pipe dope?
The tee ships as a bare casting, nothing applied to the threads. Because the joints are tapered NPT, you seal them on assembly with PTFE tape or a thread sealant rated for the service, and for gas or sprinkler work use a sealant approved for that application.
