ASC Engineered Solutions 310049002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size openings does the ASC Engineered Solutions 310049002 black malleable iron tee have?
It's a reducing tee with two 2 inch runs and a 1-1/4 inch branch, all three ends female threaded (FPT). So you run 2 inch pipe straight through and take a 1-1/4 inch branch off the side without needing a separate bushing.
2) Is this black malleable iron tee approved for fire sprinkler piping?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it can be used in fire protection piping where UL Listed and FM Approved fittings are required. It's a standard (STD) class malleable iron fitting made to ASME B16.3 for both dimensions and pressure rating.
3) Can I use a black malleable iron tee on a water line?
Black malleable iron is the wrong choice for potable water. The black finish here is a mill/oil coating with no corrosion protection, which is why black fittings are used on natural gas, fuel oil, compressed air, and fire sprinkler lines. For domestic water, go to galvanized malleable iron, copper, or PEX instead.
4) What grade of iron is this ASC tee made from, and does it matter for gas piping?
The casting is made to ASTM A197, the standard spec for cupola malleable iron used in threaded pipe fittings. That is the material grade inspectors look for on black iron gas piping, alongside the ASME B16.3 dimensional and pressure class.
5) Do I need a bushing to get from 2 inch pipe down to 1-1/4 inch on the branch?
No bushing needed. The branch outlet on the 310049002 is already tapped 1-1/4 inch FPT while both run ends stay 2 inch FPT, so it reduces inside the fitting. That saves a joint and keeps the takeoff tight to the main, which matters in a joist bay or a tight ceiling space.
6) Is a standard class malleable iron fitting strong enough, or do I need extra heavy?
This one is standard (STD) class, rated per ASME B16.3, which covers the large majority of threaded black iron work including gas distribution and sprinkler mains. Extra heavy (XH, Class 300) malleable fittings are the step up when the design pressure exceeds what the standard class allows at your service temperature.
7) How heavy is a 2 x 2 x 1-1/4 black malleable iron tee for hanger spacing?
The fitting weighs 2.35 lbs on its own. Add that to the filled weight of the 2 inch pipe on either side when you're sizing hangers or calculating a seismic load, since a reducing tee with a branch takeoff concentrates weight at one point.
