ASC Engineered Solutions 310526009 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size outlets does the ASC 2 x 2 x 1/2 black malleable iron tee have?
It's a reducing tee: the two run ends are 2 inch and the branch outlet is 1/2 inch. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), so it threads onto male-threaded pipe nipples at every port. Typical use is taking a small 1/2 inch branch off a 2 inch line without dropping the run size.
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 steel or black iron pipe and nipples of matching size. Use pipe dope or PTFE tape on the male threads as usual.
3) Is this black iron tee approved for fire sprinkler piping?
It carries UL/FM approval, so it can be used on fire protection piping where UL Listed and FM Approved threaded fittings are called for. It's extra heavy (class 300) malleable iron with NPT threads, black finish, which is the usual makeup for sprinkler branch lines running steel pipe.
4) Can I use a black malleable iron tee on a domestic water line?
No, not for potable water. Black malleable iron is unplated and will rust in wet potable service; it's intended for gas, fire protection, compressed air, and similar dry or closed systems. For potable water in threaded iron, use galvanized malleable fittings instead.
5) What does XH mean on this 2 x 2 x 1/2 black tee, and is it different from a standard fitting?
XH is extra heavy, the 300 class malleable iron pattern. It uses a heavier wall than a standard (150 class) black tee and carries a higher pressure rating, with dimensions and pressure class per ASME B16.3. A standard 150 class tee of the same nominal sizes will not have the same laying length, so don't assume a straight swap in an existing made-up assembly.
6) What is the material grade of this ASC extra heavy tee?
Cast malleable iron produced to ASTM A-197, which is the standard spec for cupola malleable iron pipe fittings. That's the material behind the fitting's pressure class under ASME B16.3.
7) What's the ASC part number for the 2 x 2 x 1/2 XH black malleable tee?
The manufacturer part number is 310526009 from ASC Engineered Solutions. Sizes read run x run x branch: 2 inch, 2 inch, 1/2 inch, all female NPT.
