ASC Engineered Solutions 311049803 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size outlets does the ASC Engineered Solutions 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 galvanized malleable iron tee have?
It's a reducing tee: the two run ends are 2 inch and the branch outlet is 1-1/2 inch. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), so it takes male threaded pipe or nipples on every port. Use it where a 2 inch line runs through and you need to pull a 1-1/2 inch branch off it without adding a separate bushing.
2) Is this tee approved for fire sprinkler piping?
Yes, it carries UL/FM approval, so it's acceptable for fire protection piping where the authority having jurisdiction requires listed fittings. It's a Class 150 standard pattern malleable iron tee built to ASME B16.3 for both dimensions and pressure rating.
3) Is the galvanizing on this tee hot dip, and is it suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
The zinc coating is applied to ASTM A-153, the hot dip galvanizing standard for threaded hardware, over malleable iron made to ASTM A-197. That's the coating used for exposed, damp, and outdoor threaded pipe work, and it's what matches galvanized steel pipe systems so you're not mixing a bare fitting into a galvanized line.
4) Should I use a reducing tee or a full size tee with a bushing for a 1-1/2 inch branch off 2 inch pipe?
A reducing tee like this 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 does it in one fitting: fewer joints to seal, less overall length, and no bushing to restrict the branch. A 2 x 2 x 2 tee plus a 2 x 1-1/2 bushing gets you the same connection but adds a leak path and eats space in tight chases. Go full size with a bushing only if you expect to upsize the branch later.
5) What does the standard (STD) strength rating mean for a malleable iron tee, and when do I need something heavier?
STD is the Class 150 standard pattern under ASME B16.3, the common weight for general plumbing, compressed air, and fire protection branch work. If your drawing calls out Class 300 or an extra heavy pattern for higher working pressure, this is not the fitting for that line.
6) How much does the 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 galvanized tee weigh for shipping or hanger calculations?
2.39 lbs per fitting. Worth counting if you're sizing hangers on a long horizontal run with several branch tees, or estimating freight on a bulk order.
7) Can I use this galvanized malleable iron tee on a potable water line?
It's a plumbing fitting in galvanized malleable iron with NPT threads, which is the traditional material for galvanized water piping and still used for repairs and extensions of existing galvanized systems. For new potable work, check what your local code requires for material, since many jurisdictions now specify copper, CPVC, or PEX instead.
