Asc Engineered Solutions 300044807 Cast Iron Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 300044807 is a black cast iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe installations in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. This fitting connects a 1-1/2 inch run with a 1 inch outlet and a 1/2 inch branch, allowing flow to be split or redirected while stepping down pipe size in a single fitting. At 1.83 pounds, it is a solid, domestically produced cast iron fitting with a black coating that resists corrosion in typical above-ground service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a change in pipe diameter is needed at a branch connection. Common install scenarios include gas supply lines, steam systems, and water distribution headers where run and branch sizes differ. The fitting accommodates a 1-1/2 inch main run, a 1 inch outlet on the opposite end, and a 1/2 inch branch takeoff, making it practical for manifold-style or multi-zone piping configurations.

Key Features

• Cast iron construction provides durability in threaded pipe systems
• Black coating finish for above-ground service applications
• Reducing configuration handles three different pipe sizes in one fitting
• Domestically produced for consistent dimensional tolerances
• Weighs 1.83 pounds for a solid, rigid connection at the branch point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for threaded black cast iron pipe systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch x 1 inch x 1/2 inch reducing tee configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the IPC, or IFGC depending on the service application. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the additional turns required to seat the fitting without over-stressing the casting. Do not use cast iron fittings on systems with pressures or temperatures that exceed the rated limits for the fitting class.
