Asc 8700120408 Malleable Black Iron Tee 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700120408 is a 3/8 inch malleable black iron tee fitting used to create branch connections in threaded pipe systems. Constructed from malleable iron with a flat-banded body, it meets Federal Specification WW-P-521F, ANSI B-16.3 for dimensional standards, ANSI B-2.1 for pipe threads, and ASTM A-197 for chemical and physical properties. This fitting is suited for gas, air, and general piping applications where a durable, code-compliant threaded tee is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these as standard components in both new construction and retrofit piping work.

This tee is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping systems where 3/8 inch threaded branch connections are needed. Typical installations include gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, and general black iron pipe assemblies. The black iron finish makes it a common choice for natural gas and propane service lines where galvanized fittings are not required or permitted.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction meets ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property requirements
• Flat-banded body style for standard threaded pipe connections
• Dimensional compliance with ANSI B-16.3 for consistent fit across standard fittings
• ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specification ensures proper thread engagement and seal
• Federal Specification WW-P-521F compliant for use in regulated installations
• Sold individually, 3/8 inch all-thread configuration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 3/8 inch threaded black iron pipe systems conforming to ANSI B-16.3 dimensional requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before cutting into any existing line. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up connections. All gas piping installations must comply with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements, and utility guidelines.
