Asc Engineered Solutions 310049804 Black Malleable Iron Tee

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 310049804 is a reducing malleable iron tee finished in black, designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing and mechanical piping applications. This fitting connects a 2-inch run with a 1-1/2-inch branch outlet and returns to a 2-inch end, all with female pipe thread (FPT) connections on all three ports. Weighing 2.24 pounds, it is built to standard strength per ASTM A-197 and conforms to ASME B16.3 dimensional and pressure rating specifications. Thread form follows ASME B1.20.1. UL and FM listed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in water, gas distribution, and fire protection piping systems.

This black malleable iron reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and industrial piping where a threaded reducing branch connection is required. The black finish is standard for gas distribution piping installations. All three ports are FPT, accepting standard male-threaded pipe ends. The reducing branch allows a smaller-diameter lateral takeoff from a full-size main run without additional bushings.

Key Features

• Reducing configuration: 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 inch with FPT connections on all ports
• Malleable iron construction per ASTM A-197 for ductility and impact resistance
• Dimensional compliance with ASME B16.3 for consistent fit in threaded systems
• Thread form per ASME B1.20.1 for compatibility with standard NPT pipe
• UL and FM listed for use in approved fire protection and gas piping systems
• Standard strength (STD) rating suitable for typical commercial and residential service pressures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded malleable iron reducing tee for use in standard NPT threaded pipe systems conforming to ASME B16.3 requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), or the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections in malleable iron fittings, as this can crack the casting.
