ASC Engineered Solutions 310055801 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three port sizes on the ASC Engineered Solutions 310055801 black malleable iron tee?
It's a reducing tee with 3 inch, 2-1/2 inch, and 2 inch openings, all female pipe thread. The run is the 3 x 2-1/2 combination and the 2 inch is the branch takeoff, so you can step a 3 inch line down and pull a 2 inch branch off it in one fitting instead of stacking a tee and two bushings.
2) Is this black iron tee approved for a fire sprinkler system?
It is UL/FM rated, so it can be used in fire protection piping where the authority having jurisdiction requires listed fittings. It is a standard weight (STD) class malleable iron fitting built to ASME B16.3, which is the usual class for threaded sprinkler mains and branch lines.
3) Can I use a black malleable iron tee on a domestic water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, fire protection, air, and other non-potable service. The black finish is an uncoated mill finish with no corrosion protection, so it will rust in wet potable service. For water lines use a galvanized fitting instead, and check your local code for potable-water material requirements.
4) What material spec and dimensional standard does this ASC reducing tee meet?
The castings are made to ASTM A-197 malleable iron, and the fitting dimensions and pressure class follow ASME B16.3. Those are the two callouts a mechanical spec or submittal normally asks for on threaded malleable iron fittings, along with the B1.20.1 threads.
5) How heavy is a 3 x 2-1/2 x 2 malleable iron tee?
About 4.8 lbs each. Worth knowing if you're hanging a run of them overhead: at that weight the fitting plus the water or pipe load at each tee affects hanger spacing, and a case of them adds up fast on a material list.
6) What is the ASC Engineered Solutions part number for this black reducing tee?
The manufacturer part number is 310055801, an ASC Engineered Solutions 3 x 2-1/2 x 2 black malleable iron tee. That's the number to quote for a match on a resupply or a distributor cross-reference.
