ASC Engineered Solutions 311051601 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three port sizes on the ASC Engineered Solutions 2 x 1/2 x 2 galvanized malleable iron tee?
Run is 2 inch on both ends with a 1/2 inch branch, so it's a reducing tee used to drop a small takeoff off a 2 inch line. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), so it threads onto male-threaded pipe nipples on every port.
2) Is this tee approved for fire sprinkler piping?
It carries UL/FM approval, which is what an inspector looks for on fire protection piping. It's a galvanized malleable iron tee with a 1/2 inch branch, a common arrangement for a sprinkler drop or gauge/drain takeoff off a 2 inch line.
3) Galvanized or black malleable iron tee, which do I need?
This one is hot dip galvanized to ASTM A-153, which is the coating you want on wet or dry sprinkler piping, outdoor runs, and damp mechanical rooms where black iron would rust. Black malleable is the cheaper choice for interior gas or dry service. Don't mix galvanized fittings into a gas line where the spec calls for black.
4) Do I need a bushing to get a 1/2 inch takeoff from a 2 inch line?
No. This tee already reduces to 1/2 inch on the branch, so you thread a 1/2 inch nipple straight in, no bushing stack. Both run ends stay full 2 inch FPT. Reducing at the fitting instead of with a bushing keeps the joint count down and is generally what a sprinkler or mechanical inspector prefers to see.
5) Will this tee meet a spec sheet calling out ASME B16.3 dimensions?
Yes, dimensions are per ASME B16.3, so center to end and thread engagement match any B16.3 threaded malleable fitting of the same size. That means it interchanges dimensionally with another brand's 2 x 1/2 x 2 standard class tee on a takeout measurement.
6) What is the malleable iron in this tee made to, and how much does it weigh?
The casting is malleable iron to ASTM A-197, and the fitting weighs 2.25 lbs. Useful number if you're pricing freight on a bulk fitting order or checking hanger loads on a long threaded run.
