ASC Engineered Solutions 311056204 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the port sizes on the ASC Engineered Solutions 3x2x2 galvanized malleable iron tee?
The run is 3 inch on one end and 2 inch on the other, with a 2 inch branch. All three openings are female pipe thread (FPT), so it takes male-threaded pipe nipples on every port. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the standard NPT thread spec, so it mates with any standard NPT male thread.
2) Is this galvanized malleable iron tee approved for fire sprinkler piping?
It carries UL/FM approval, which is what an AHJ looks for on fire protection piping. It is a standard weight (STD) malleable iron fitting made to ASME B16.3 for dimensions and pressure rating, with NPT threads per ASME B1.20.1. Confirm the fitting class against the working pressure on your sprinkler drawing before it goes in.
3) Will a 3x2x2 reducing tee let me branch a 2 inch line off a 3 inch main?
Not quite the way most people assume. Both the branch and one side of the run reduce to 2 inch, so it takes 3 inch pipe in on one side, and puts out 2 inch on the run and 2 inch on the branch. If you need to keep the 3 inch main running full size past the takeoff, you want a 3x3x2 tee instead.
4) Can I use a malleable iron tee like this on a potable water line?
Galvanized malleable iron reducing tees are used on water, air, gas and fire protection lines with threaded steel pipe. The zinc coating here is hot dip galvanizing to ASTM A-153, which is what distinguishes it from a black malleable fitting and is why galvanized is the one chosen for water service rather than black iron. For anything with a lead-free potable requirement, check the job spec against the fitting being supplied.
5) What is the difference between a black and a galvanized malleable iron fitting for this size tee?
Same casting and same dimensions, different coating. This 3x2x2 tee is hot dip galvanized to ASTM A-153, so it is the one for wet lines and damp or exterior locations where a black fitting would rust. Black malleable is the usual pick for natural gas and dry sprinkler-free service. Both are made from ASTM A-197 malleable iron to ASME B16.3 dimensions, so they interchange on the pipe thread without any change to the layout.
6) 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 male-threaded pipe or nipples, plus thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service. No gaskets, unions or bolts are part of it.
7) What is the ASC part number for the 3x2x2 galvanized malleable iron tee?
Order it as model 311056204 from ASC Engineered Solutions. That number covers the 3x2x2 standard weight galvanized malleable iron tee with FPT threads on all three openings.
