Asc Engineered Solutions 300042801 Cast Iron Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 300042801 is a black cast iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, mechanical, and gas distribution applications. This domestically produced fitting measures 1-1/2 inches on the run ends and reduces to a 1/2-inch branch outlet, allowing a single inline connection point to serve a smaller branch line. Weighing 1.84 pounds, the fitting is built from cast iron with a black coating for corrosion resistance in dry and low-moisture environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work where branch takeoffs are required at a reduced size.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a 1-1/2-inch main line requires a 1/2-inch branch connection. Typical applications include gas supply piping, steam and condensate systems, and other threaded iron pipe installations where a change in line size is needed at a tee junction. The black iron finish makes it a common choice for gas service piping governed by IFGC standards.

Key Features

• Reducing configuration: 1-1/2 inch run by 1/2 inch branch outlet
• Cast iron construction for durability in threaded piping systems
• Black coating standard for gas service and mechanical piping applications
• Domestically manufactured fitting
• Threaded connections compatible with standard NPT pipe threads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard threaded black iron pipe systems using 1-1/2 inch and 1/2 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IFGC or IPC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any existing piping. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded cast iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
