ASC Engineered Solutions 311049605 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three port sizes on the ASC 2 x 2 x 1/2 galvanized malleable iron tee?
It's a reducing tee: two 2 inch run ports and a 1/2 inch branch. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), so pipe or nipples thread into the fitting rather than over it. Typical use is picking up a small 1/2 inch take-off, a gauge, a drain, or a sprinkler drop off a 2 inch main line.
2) Is this a Class 150 standard fitting or an extra-heavy 300 pound one?
Standard pattern. The fitting is rated STD (Class 150) per ASME B16.3, the dimensional and pressure standard for malleable iron threaded fittings. If your spec calls for Class 300 extra-heavy, this is not the right part.
3) Can a galvanized malleable iron tee be used on a wet or outdoor line?
That's what the galvanizing is for. The fitting is malleable iron with a hot-dip galvanized coating to ASTM A-153, which is the standard for zinc coating on threaded hardware, giving corrosion protection for damp, outdoor, or dry-pipe sprinkler service where a black fitting would rust. For potable water, check your local code, since galvanized steel systems are restricted in many jurisdictions.
4) Will this tee lay in at the same dimensions as the galvanized tee I'm replacing?
It should. Center-to-end dimensions follow ASME B16.3, so any Class 150 malleable iron 2 x 2 x 1/2 tee built to that standard has the same take-out. A same-size replacement threads into the existing nipples without re-cutting pipe.
5) Do I need a bushing to reduce the branch on a 2 inch line, or does this tee do it?
No bushing needed. The 1/2 inch branch is cast into the fitting, so you go straight from a 2 inch run to a 1/2 inch female thread in one part. That's fewer joints than a full-size 2 x 2 x 2 tee plus a 2 x 1/2 reducing bushing, and it keeps the take-out to standard B16.3 dimensions.
6) What grade of malleable iron is this tee made from?
The casting is made to ASTM A-197, the specification for cupola malleable iron used in threaded pipe fittings. That material gives it the ductility to take thread engagement and a wrench without cracking the way gray cast iron would.
