Asc Engineered Solutions 310517404 Malleable Iron Tee 3 in Xh

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 310517404 is a 3-inch extra-heavy (XH) black malleable iron tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing and fire protection systems. All three ports use female pipe thread (FPT) connections conforming to ASME B1.20.1, and the fitting is rated to ASME B16.3 pressure standards. The malleable iron body meets ASTM A-197 material specifications, delivering the toughness required in demanding commercial and industrial piping installations. At 12.47 pounds, this is a substantial fitting suited for high-pressure or high-load applications where standard-weight fittings are not adequate.

This tee is used in commercial plumbing, industrial pipe distribution, and fire suppression systems where extra-heavy-duty threaded fittings are required. The black finish is standard for gas and fire protection piping runs. The UL and FM listings make it appropriate for use in listed fire protection systems and other code-governed installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit projects requiring 3-inch threaded branch connections.

Key Features

• Extra-heavy (XH) strength rating for high-pressure and heavy-duty service
• All three ports are 3-inch FPT, conforming to ASME B1.20.1 thread specification
• Malleable iron body meets ASTM A-197 material specification
• Pressure rating per ASME B16.3
• UL and FM listed for fire protection system use
• Black finish standard for gas and fire suppression piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3-inch threaded malleable iron piping systems in plumbing, gas distribution, and fire protection applications requiring extra-heavy-duty fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the IPC and IFGC. Depressurize and isolate the pipe section completely before threading or removing any fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service medium to all FPT connections before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections on malleable iron fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
