Asc Engineered Solutions 310053202 Black Malleable Iron Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 310053202 is a black malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, air, and general plumbing distribution systems. It features a 2.5-inch run with a 0.75-inch branch outlet, allowing a single fitting to transition between two pipe sizes without additional bushings. The black iron coating provides corrosion resistance suited to dry and low-moisture environments. Weighing 2.72 pounds, this is a solid, full-body casting built for the pressures and vibrations common in commercial and industrial piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This reducing tee is intended for use in threaded black iron pipe systems where a branch line must be tapped off a larger main. Common applications include natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, and steam or hydronic heating supply and return piping. The domestic manufacture designation indicates this fitting meets domestic production standards, which some commercial and public-works project specifications require. It is well suited to both new construction rough-in and retrofit work where an existing run needs a reduced-size branch.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress in threaded systems
• Black coating suited for gas, air, and non-potable water piping applications
• Reducing configuration: 2.5-inch run, 0.75-inch branch outlet eliminates need for a separate bushing
• Domestically manufactured, meeting project specs that require domestic-origin fittings
• Weighs 2.72 pounds, indicating full-body casting with adequate wall thickness for pressure service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-install fitting for threaded black iron pipe systems using 2.5-inch main run pipe and 0.75-inch branch pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing any existing fittings or threading new connections. Apply listed thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not use this fitting on potable water systems without verifying suitability under local code.
