Asc Engineered Solutions 310055405 Malleable Iron Reducing Tee

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 310055405 is a black malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping applications. This domestically manufactured fitting connects a 3-inch run pipe to a 3/4-inch branch outlet, making it a workhorse component wherever a main line needs a reduced branch takeoff. At 4.03 pounds, the fitting is built with the wall thickness and thread integrity expected of standard malleable iron fittings used in pressure systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of component.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded black iron configuration is required. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam systems, compressed air distribution, and fire protection rough-in work. The black coating provides baseline corrosion resistance for dry or low-moisture environments. The 3-inch by 3/4-inch size is a frequently specified reducing configuration in commercial mechanical rooms and industrial installations where main headers feed smaller branch drops.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and ductility suitable for threaded pressure systems
• 3 inches x 3/4 inch reducing configuration joins main run to a smaller branch outlet
• Black coating finish standard for gas and industrial piping applications
• Domestically manufactured fitting
• Weighs 4.03 pounds, consistent with full-weight commercial-grade malleable iron

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for standard NPT black malleable iron piping systems in residential and commercial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the fitting. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive force.
