ASC Engineered Solutions 311048805 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the port sizes on the ASC 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 galvanized malleable iron tee?
The run is 2 inch on both ends and the branch reduces to 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 you are running 2 inch line and need to pull a 1-1/2 inch takeoff without adding a separate bushing.
2) Is this reducing tee approved for fire sprinkler work?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it is acceptable for fire protection piping where a UL Listed or FM Approved fitting is called out. The 1-1/2 inch branch off a 2 inch run is a common sprinkler cross-main to branch-line takeoff.
3) What pressure class is this malleable iron tee, and is it Class 150?
It is a standard weight (STD) fitting rated under ASME B16.3, which is the malleable iron threaded fittings standard covering Class 150 and Class 300. STD corresponds to the Class 150 pressure class in that standard. For higher working pressures you want a Class 300 extra-heavy fitting instead.
4) Is the galvanizing on this tee hot-dip, and will it hold up outdoors?
The coating is galvanized to ASTM A-153, the hot-dip galvanizing spec for hardware and threaded items. That gives it the zinc coating normally specified for wet, damp, or exterior service and for galvanized steel pipe systems. Pair it with galvanized pipe so you are not mixing coated and bare steel in the same run.
5) Does this fitting meet a spec for malleable iron material?
The casting is malleable iron produced to ASTM A-197, with dimensions to ASME B16.3. That is the combination most commercial and institutional plumbing and fire protection specs cite for threaded malleable iron fittings, so it drops straight into a drawing calling for that material and dimensional standard.
6) Can I use a 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 tee instead of a full-size tee with a reducing bushing?
Yes, and it is the cleaner way to do it. Because the branch is cast at 1-1/2 inch FPT, you thread a 1-1/2 inch nipple directly into it, with no bushing and one fewer joint to seal or leak. A reducing bushing also adds length and restricts flow at the takeoff. Use a straight 2 x 2 x 2 tee only when the branch stays full size.
7) What is the ASC Engineered Solutions part number for this reducing tee?
Order it as ASC Engineered Solutions model 311048805, a 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 galvanized malleable iron tee.
