ASC Engineered Solutions 310516208 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 3/4 inch black malleable iron tee thread onto standard 3/4 inch black steel pipe?
Yes. All three openings on this ASC Engineered Solutions tee are 3/4 inch female pipe thread cut to ASME B1.20.1, the standard NPT thread spec, so it makes up with any 3/4 inch threaded black steel or malleable nipple.
2) Is this ASC tee a straight 3/4 tee or a reducing tee?
Straight run and branch, all the same size. Size 1, 2 and 3 are each 0.75 inch FPT, so it is a 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 tee, not a reducer. For a smaller takeoff you need a reducing tee or a bushing in the branch.
3) What does XH mean on a black malleable iron tee, and when do I need it instead of standard?
XH is extra heavy, a thicker wall and a higher pressure class than a standard 150 class fitting. This tee's pressure rating and dimensions both follow ASME B16.3. Use XH where the line pressure or the mechanical loading on a threaded joint calls for the heavier class; standard weight is fine on ordinary low pressure work.
4) Can I use this tee on a fire sprinkler line?
It carries UL/FM approval, which is the listing sprinkler contractors and AHJs look for on threaded fittings in fire protection piping. It is extra heavy malleable iron to ASTM A-197 with NPT ends.
5) Is a black malleable iron tee OK for a domestic water line?
No. Black malleable iron is used on gas, fire protection, steam, condensate and compressed air. For potable water you want galvanized, brass or copper instead; black iron will rust in a wet water line. The black finish here is uncoated, unlike galvanized.
6) Does this ASC tee interchange with other brands of 3/4 XH black malleable tee?
Yes, dimensionally. Threaded malleable iron fittings built to ASME B16.3 share the same face-to-center and thread engagement, so a 3/4 XH black tee from another manufacturer made to the same standard drops into the same spot. Match the class too, XH to XH, not standard weight.
7) What is the part number and shipping weight on the 3/4 XH black tee from ASC?
Manufacturer part number 310516208, weighing 1.07 lbs each. Useful if you are pricing a pallet quantity or working out hanger loads on a made-up assembly.
8) Do I need thread sealant with this malleable iron tee?
Yes. The FPT ends are tapered NPT threads per ASME B1.20.1, and a tapered threaded joint needs pipe dope or PTFE tape rated for the service, gas rated sealant on fuel gas lines. Nothing is supplied with the fitting.
