Asc Engineered Solutions 300050804 Cast Iron Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 300050804 is a cast iron reducing tee fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in commercial and industrial piping systems. Built to FIG 359 series specifications, this fitting connects a 2-inch run with a 1/2-inch branch outlet using female national pipe thread (FNPT) connections on all three ports. It carries a 175 psi pressure rating and a temperature range of -20 to 150 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of low-pressure fluid and gas distribution applications. The black oxide finish provides surface protection, and the SCH 40/STD schedule rating ensures dimensional compatibility with standard-weight pipe. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and industrial piping where a 2-inch main line requires a reduced 1/2-inch branch takeoff. It is manufactured domestically in the United States and conforms to ASME B16.4 and ASTM A126 standards. Applications include water distribution, low-pressure steam, air, and gas lines where cast iron threaded fittings are specified. The alternative part number ICB1325 may be referenced for cross-identification purposes.

Key Features

• 175 psi pressure rating suitable for low-pressure piping systems
• FNPT connections on all three ports for standard threaded pipe assembly
• Black oxide finish on cast iron construction for corrosion surface protection
• SCH 40/STD schedule rating for compatibility with standard-weight pipe
• Manufactured in the United States to ASME B16.4 and ASTM A126 standards
• cULus Listed and FM Approved for use in fire protection and life-safety piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded reducing tee for standard-weight cast iron pipe systems using 2-inch run by 1/2-inch branch configurations with FNPT connections. Alternative part number ICB1325 cross-references this fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and ASME B1.20.1 thread standards. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before making up joints; do not over-tighten, as cast iron fittings can crack under excessive torque. Verify system pressure does not exceed the 175 psi rating of this fitting.
