Asc 8700126900 Malleable Iron Galvanized Pipe Cross 1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700126900 is a 1/2 inch malleable iron galvanized pipe cross designed for four-way pipe connections in low-pressure plumbing and mechanical piping systems. The flat banded body is hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A-153, providing corrosion resistance for exposed or damp installations. Threaded connections conform to ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards. This fitting is sized for 1/2 inch nominal pipe and is sold individually. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas distribution, water supply, and mechanical rough-in applications where a four-way branch connection is required.

The 8700126900 pipe cross suits residential and light commercial piping systems. It is typically installed in low-pressure gas lines, potable water supply runs, and general mechanical piping where a four-way tee configuration is needed at a single node. The malleable iron construction handles the mechanical stress and vibration common in building services piping. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for installations where bare iron would be exposed to moisture or corrosive atmospheres.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch nominal pipe in standard malleable iron threaded piping systems conforming to ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench and back-wrench to avoid cracking the casting.
