Asc Engineered Solutions 310524806 Malleable Iron Tee

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 310524806 is an extra-heavy (XH) black malleable iron reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing and mechanical systems. Conforming to ASME B16.3 pressure rating standards and ASTM A-197 material specification, this fitting provides durable, reliable performance in demanding service conditions. It features female pipe thread (FPT) connections on all three ports, with a run size of 1.5 x 1.5 inches and a branch outlet of 0.5 inches. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1 specification for consistent, leak-resistant engagement. At 2.27 pounds, the fitting is built to the extra-heavy strength class, making it appropriate for higher-pressure applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This malleable iron tee is used in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where a threaded branch connection is required. The reducing branch accommodates a 0.5-inch line off a 1.5-inch main run, a common configuration in supply manifolds, branch take-offs, and service piping layouts. The black finish is standard for non-potable and gas service piping applications. UL and FM listings support use in fire protection and other listed service categories where compliant fittings are required.

Key Features

• Extra-heavy (XH) strength class for higher-pressure threaded piping service
• Malleable iron construction per ASTM A-197 for toughness and machinability
• All three ports are female pipe thread (FPT) per ASME B1.20.1
• Pressure rating per ASME B16.3 for standardized performance assurance
• Black finish suitable for gas and non-potable piping applications
• UL/FM listed for use in applications requiring certified fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded malleable iron tee for use in 1.5-inch threaded pipe systems with a 0.5-inch reducing branch outlet, suitable for plumbing and gas piping assemblies that require ASME B16.3 conforming fittings.

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 piping system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint, and tighten using pipe wrenches without over-torquing the malleable iron body. Pressure-test the completed assembly per code requirements before returning the system to service.
