ASC Engineered Solutions 310048806 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size openings does the ASC 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 black malleable iron tee have?
It's a reducing tee: both 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 threaded pipe or nipples on the run and a 1-1/2 inch threaded connection on the branch. Use it where you need to drop or tap a smaller line off a 2 inch main without adding a separate bushing.
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 thread spec, so it mates with any standard threaded black or galvanized steel pipe and NPT nipples of the matching size. No adapter needed.
3) Is this tee approved for fire sprinkler piping?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it can be used on fire protection piping where a listed fitting is required. It's a standard (STD) pattern malleable iron fitting made to ASME B16.3 for both dimensions and pressure 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 non-potable service. The black finish here has no corrosion protection on the waterway, so for potable water you want galvanized, copper, or CPVC instead. Where black iron is right is natural gas and propane piping and threaded sprinkler work.
5) Is this a Class 150 or Class 300 fitting?
Standard pattern, which in ASME B16.3 malleable iron is the Class 150 rating. If your drawing calls for an extra-heavy Class 300 fitting, this one does not meet it, and you'll need the heavy pattern version of the same 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 tee.
6) Which way does the 1-1/2 inch branch face, and can I use this in place of a bushed straight tee?
On a reducing tee the smaller opening is the branch, at 90 degrees to the 2 inch run. Compared with running a full 2 x 2 x 2 tee and threading in a 2 x 1-1/2 bushing, this gives you one less joint to seal and a shorter takeoff, and it's dimensionally to ASME B16.3 so it drops into the same layout as any standard-pattern tee.
7) What grade of malleable iron is this tee cast from?
The casting meets ASTM A-197, the standard spec for cupola malleable iron fittings. That's the grade used across threaded black iron gas and sprinkler fittings, so it will match what's already in an existing black iron system.
8) What part number do I order for the ASC 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 black malleable tee?
The manufacturer part number is 310048806 from ASC Engineered Solutions. That's the number to quote for a 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 standard-pattern black malleable iron reducing tee.
