ASC Engineered Solutions 311055800 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the three outlet sizes on the ASC Engineered Solutions 311055800 galvanized malleable iron tee?
It's a reducing tee sized 3 inch run by 2-1/2 inch by 2 inch. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), so it takes male-threaded pipe nipples or male adapters on every port. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the NPT standard, so it mates with standard threaded steel pipe.
2) Is this galvanized malleable iron tee approved for fire sprinkler piping?
Yes. The 3 x 2-1/2 x 2 galvanized malleable iron tee from ASC Engineered Solutions carries UL/FM approval, which is what an AHJ looks for on threaded fire protection piping. The galvanized coating also suits it to wet and dry sprinkler systems where bare black iron would corrode.
3) Which port is the branch on a 3 x 2-1/2 x 2 reducing tee?
Reducing tees are called out run x run x branch. On this fitting the run is 3 inch through 2-1/2 inch and the 2 inch port is the branch outlet. So you're reducing the main line from 3 inch to 2-1/2 inch while taking a 2 inch takeoff, all female threaded.
4) Is this a standard or extra heavy malleable iron tee?
Standard pattern (STD), which is Class 150 malleable iron under ASME B16.3. Pressure rating follows that same standard. If your spec calls for Class 300 extra heavy, this isn't the fitting.
5) What standards does this ASC galvanized tee meet for material, dimensions and coating?
Body is malleable iron to ASTM A-197. Dimensions and pressure class follow ASME B16.3, and the hot dip galvanized coating is per ASTM A-153. Threads are ASME B1.20.1 NPT. That combination is what most mechanical and fire protection specs call out for threaded galvanized fittings.
6) Can I use this galvanized malleable iron tee on a domestic water line?
It's built for threaded steel pipe systems and the galvanized coating handles wet service, but malleable iron threaded fittings are typically specified for fire protection, compressed air, and general mechanical piping rather than new potable water work, where codes generally require a lead-free certified fitting. Nothing in the fitting's published data covers potable water certification, so for drinking water use pick a fitting specifically marked for it.
7) Do I need anything besides the tee to make up the joints?
The tee ships as the fitting only. All three ports are female NPT, so you supply the male-threaded pipe or nipples plus thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for your service. If your incoming pipe is grooved or plain end, you'll also need threaded adapters to land on these ports.
8) How much does the 3 x 2-1/2 x 2 galvanized tee weigh for freight and hanger sizing?
4.85 lbs each. Worth factoring in when you're spacing hangers on a filled 3 inch line, since the fitting plus the water it holds sits on the nearest support.
